""The vernacular of stained glass is one of worship and mythology. Super/Natural turns this a bit on its head, creating a secular sanctuary for contemplating beauty, nature, and our relationship to it.""
""My goal is to invite viewers into a deeply personal, immersive experience that explores the connections between self, nature, and imagination. We are ultimately connected to-not just observing-nature.""
Judith Schaechter's installation 'Super/Natural' at Claire Oliver Gallery celebrates biophilia, showcasing florals, insects, and birds in a stained glass format. The piece, comprising 65 panes and taking nearly two years to complete, stands eight feet tall and features a geodesic dome. Influenced by her residency at the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics, Schaechter aims to create an immersive experience that explores the connections between self, nature, and imagination, emphasizing that humans are connected to nature rather than merely observing it.
