Dylan grew up in Columbus, Wisconsin, and now lives and works in Madison.Waddell paints and makes his collages on the same easel he bought at Goodwill over 17 years ago.His main goal in creating is to build interesting compositions rather than to convey ideas. Waddell wholeheartedly tries to make art for no one but himself.His new body of collages are an attempt to break free from the figures that have generally dominated his painting practice, while committing to a more free flowing, less analytical, spontaneous form of expression.Waddell builds up compositions while breaking them down simultaneously.
