Artist Reception: Saturday, September 10, from 4pm to 7pm
For our fall 2022 exhibition season, Themes+Projects gallery presents Altered Landscapes by Charlotte Schmid-Maybach. This exhibition showcases new mixed-media photographic works on Japanese Kozo paper, ranging in size from 70.5 x 55.5 to 12.25 x 15 inches. Thematically, the exhibition explores Charlotte’s interest in both natural and urban landscapes.
Sewing is a key visual element in Charlotte’s work. By sewing into the pieces it transforms them into something more dimensional, textural and literally blurs the line between what’s real in the photograph and what’s beyond the picture or imagined. This transformational element of the finished piece alludes to fabric, or can be described as a photo-tapestry.
