Linda Schmidt
Cinch, 2023, vibrant, jewel-like, diaphanous strips of fabric collages

2023

About the Item

This work is framed with a simple white float to allow the jewel-like, diaphanous strips of fabric to glow without distraction. Linda Kamille Schmidt received an MA in drawing and an MFA in painting from the University of Iowa. In 1989 she relocated to Brooklyn, NY and has lived and worked there since. Schmidt creates fabric pieces and installations by sewing together layers of colorful transparent panels. She is interested in the ways that fabric is used publicly (celebrations, marches, banners and fairs) and privately (quilts, clothing, home furnishing). In addition to these practical uses, she considers how fabric can also function as an incubator for thought and contemplation. Linda's sewing and design skills have been passed down through generations of women in her family.
