“Water, Woods and Sky” by Charlotte Schmid-Maybach

For our fall 2024 exhibition, Themes+Projects gallery is pleased to announce the return of Charlotte Schmid-Maybach for her second solo exhibition, Water, Woods and Sky.

Building upon her previous work, this collection continues her exploration of constructing images inspired by fleeting moments, abstract forms, and the natural world. Charlotte creates her photographs on kozo paper and adds depth through her use of thread and found mixed media. A new and notable element in this body of work is her innovative use of a secondary printed image on silk gauze. This additional layer introduces a dynamic visual interplay of the artwork and adds an ethereal effect as the viewer shifts their perspective. The pieces in this exhibition range in size from 14.25 x 19.5 inches to 61 x 51 inches.
