Erika Lawlor Schmidt: Keeping Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at The Hesterly Black in Waterbury, Vermont, USA
6 September 2024-19 January 2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Erika Lawlor Schmidt writes about this work:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work is about the assimilation of observation and experience of the body, psyche and spiritual life force, and finding connections with the world around us. I most often work in “series” arriving through a collage sensibility where fragments, images and symbolic elements are integrated, fused, and layered in order to capture a momentary glimpse, thought or view. A view that originates in a belief I share with Eastern philosophies, in that the world is made up of a complex web of interrelating parts, where the division of nature into separate objects is not fundamental, rather fluid and ever-changing in character, a view that contains time and change as essential features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use a variety of materials and sources in my work and create time-based performance media as well. The integration of mediums is essential to expressing a search for balance within ambiguous and incongruent experience. Key visual elements are repletion, rhythm and pattern. Process and ritual are also important to reflecting upon the intrinsic circular nature of all things. Through the work, I locate and reveal wide-ranged yet fragile connections within co-existing systems. This becomes a means toward discovering that in order to achieve unity, one must avoid separating the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
