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.
About the Artist
Charlotte Schmid-Maybach is an interdisciplinary artist working with photography, textile and assemblage. Originally from San Francisco, she earned her BA from UC Berkeley in South Asian civilization and MA in Photojournalism from the University of Missouri, Columbia. Her background as an archaeological photographer in Pakistan and fifteen years as a newspaper photojournalist have informed her artwork. Charlotte started studying with artist Tom Wudl in 2016 and made the transition to a full-time studio practice. She received the Photolucida Critical Mass Top 50 photography award in 2021 and was an exhibitor in Klompching Gallery’s FRESH 2023.
