Art faculty present solo exhibitions SYDNEY HAUER
Executive Editor
Solo exhibitions by two professors in the art department are currently on view in the UNI Gallery of Art. “Drop Shadow” by Aaron Wilson, printmaking professor, and “Visions” by Noah Doely, assistant photography professor, will be on view until Sept. 29. According to Wilson, he thought his work would show well with Doely’s. “I thought our work would show well together and I didn’t have enough work to fill this whole gallery space, so I thought, why not have this be a two person show?” Wilson said. He asked gallery director Darrell Taylor about doing a show in the future, and there turned out to be an opening for the fall. “I had been wanting to have an exhibition at UNI for a while, and I’ve also been wanting to see all of these bodies of work together,” said Doely. “I basically ended up having the exhibition because Aaron Wilson was showing his work and he asked me if I would do it as well.” All of the artwork in Doely’s
show has been made since he started teaching at UNI six years ago. “Perception is a theme that connects most of my work,” Doely said. “Thinking about the assumptions a viewer might have when they come to the work and how those assumptions can be destabilized in some way through the process of viewing the work or reading about it.” An example of Doely’s work is a series titled “Above and Below,” which are photographs of cave-like structures built out of rocks inside of large, waterfilled glass tanks, shot by a pinhole camera illuminated by a single light source with an exposure of anywhere from 24 hours to several days. The exhibition includes photography, sculpture, video and found objects as mediums. “I’m interested in origins, especially origins that relate to science, art and myth in some way. Nature is frequently the subject of my work, but I am more interested in the way that nature is interpreted, measured and mediated. It’s all depictions of nature, but I am interested in the way that photography mediates perception.” Doely explained that much of his work is about the relationship between seeing and
believing, as well as authenticity. “I called it ‘Visions’ because it is about the act of seeing,” Doely said. “How much can one discern from a visual experience? What do you actually know when you see something? Photography is very limited in the amount of information that it is providing to a viewer. Photography is kind of paradoxical in the sense that it is a tool to establish veracity.” Doely will be giving an artist lecture titled “Degrees of Certainty” at 6 p.m. on Sept. 25 in Kamerick Art Building Room 111. Aaron Wilson simultaneously holds two art-making careers. Aside from his solo work, he primarily works together with professor Tim Dooley on collaborative printmaking work. He explained that “Drop Shadow” is much different from their work together, and is mostly drawing based. “It is work that I’ve been creating for 10 years, kind of off and on between working with Tim,” Wilson said. “I was just kind of moving stuff around in storage, and I thought, I think I probably have a show here.” Wilson came to the title of the exhibition, “Drop Shadow”

after thinking about potential titles for a while. “Over time I thought about the black and white, and sort of the dark, noir quality of the work and I liked this idea of drop shadow; it’s a shadow of
whatever the thing is,” Wilson explained. “The idea that you’re going to make something highlighted by putting darkness around it.”
