About the Item
Linda Kamille Schmidt is inspired by the colors and textures of transparent and opaque fabrics that she collects and sews into layered, geometric collages. The construction of each piece is a journey. Through her stitching methods and varying degrees of fussiness, she explores and challenges expectations of perfection, the rigidity of traditional rules, and what has historically denoted success for women. Everyone has a relationship with fabric, so the colors, textures and types of fabric used in the work stir up personal memories of childhood, special events, personalities, life styles, ethics, privilege and wealth. Her fabrics range in cost and quality from thrift store finds and bargain bin remnants to high end silks. The stitching is done both by machine and by hand, sometimes neat, sometimes unpredictable and haphazard. The fabrics are often frayed, ripped apart and reassembled, leaving holes that expose a trail of her process.
There is an architectural element to Schmidt’s work; she builds each piece forward from the past. The bright colors are constructive and positive. The transparent and opaque layers overlap, causing the colors to glow from underneath. The two-sided hanging work invites the viewer to look for the places where they can see into the distance. Opaque fabrics create a visual block but the color and texture can change if something transparent is layered on top.
Schmidt is originally from Kansas where she attended Bethel College and where most of her family still lives. She received an MA and MFA in drawing and painting from the University of Iowa in Iowa City, IA. She has lived and worked in Brooklyn, NY, since 1989.

Elegant Hanging Art Sculpture - Easy to install WATERWAYS
By Arozarena De La Fuente
Located in Mexico City, MX
This elegant hanging Wall Art sculpture is perfect for both neutral and modern spaces. The artist was inspired in long walks and pathways many peolple take every day in order to fill a single bucket of water, making it last a whole week. The silhouette is made with delicately placed pins. One by one, the artist placed them with resin and once they were firm, she cut the back part points.
It is easy to install for it can be hung directly to the wall with two screws or from the cieling above to make a separation from the wall and project shadows.
