Other Edens
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The images play with association, memory, horror, and (very) black humor. The artist himself willingly stands in for the human form, but the pictures are not portraiture in any sense. Waplington's body functions instead as a superimposed ghost or conscience, witness or fantasy."--Artforum
"The riches he offers as a composer, a colorist, a technician are secondary to the complex emotional content he is able to record. He has the eyes of a poet."--Isaac Mizrahi
"The title Other Edens suggests that this is a genesis story and Waplington a newborn Adam. Actually, he stands in for everyone who fears that this century has given birth to a civilization that even its makers can't be bothered to comprehend. The blank look on Waplington's face registers our perplexity that modernity has estranged us from the world even as it has accelerated access to its farthest corners."--Herbert Muschamp, New York Times Magazine
