Judith Schaechter: Super/Natural
Centered around Judith Schaechter鈥檚 latest project, Super/Natural, this exhibition explores the universality of natural elements, patterns, and ornament as vehicles for meditations on beauty. The central stained glass structure, also titled Super/Natural, is her largest project to date, designed to accommodate a single viewer inside. Created during her residency at the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics, this piece reflects her study of biophilic design and its impact on human consciousness.
By positioning the viewer within a three-tiered cosmos, Super/Natural invites reflection on both inner space鈥攐ur neurological and psychological experience of environments鈥攁nd outer space鈥攈ow we extend ourselves into the world around us. Inside this secular temple, viewers encounter the 鈥渂lue marble鈥� of Earth from a more intimate perspective, suggesting that we are not merely observers of nature, but connected to it.
In honor of Schaechter鈥檚 prolific oeuvre prior to embarking on this large project, the exhibition will feature additional works which share themes of natural elements, pattern, and ornament. Judith Schaechter: Super/Natural aims to illuminate how Schaechter has shed new light on the traditional medium of stained glass, and to underscore the central structure鈥檚 biophilic beauty.
