During
her travels Melinda Schawel developed a habit of trawling
book stores and flea markets, unearthing bundles of old
correspondence, most of which was in languages unfamiliar
to her. She found these old forgotten letters and postcards
to be poignant and unsettling, and inspiration for this
recent body of works, ‘out of touch’. In an
image saturated society Schawel’s works gives the
viewer welcome relief with it’s subtle shifts of
light and shape. There is a gentle melancholy to these
paintings that echo the words and evoke the memories of
long ago friendships.
When used as social or political statement text can often
alter our experience of the visual arts. However, Schawel
uses scraps of foreign text not only for it’s aesthetic
qualities, but to create her own visual language, one
that might serve as a bridge across cultures when words
alone cannot.
All
works are mixed media on wood, various combinations of ink, acrylic, varnish, cracking medium, glazes and wax |
