Harold Joe Waldrum, painter, printmaker
“Waldrum’s explorations of the window metaphor have probed its ambiguous and problematic nature. In some, the window’s receptacle will seem like a vessel filled with light; in others, especially those with black centers, it will seem emptied, leaving an awesome darkness. Some are filled with hope or longing; others with profound resignation. Often an image of mandalic centering, the broad middle plane can also seem a blank slab or table awaiting an inscription. Because a window is a threshold allowing or withholding access to another world, it can be taken as opening outward onto a beyond or inward into an interior.” — William Peterson, Artspace, Winter 1981-82
