Join us on the opening day of Judith Schaechter: Super/Natural for a special conversation with exhibiting and visiting artist Judith Schaechter. Schaechter will discuss her largest masterpiece to date, Super/Natural, an 8-foot-tall, 5.5-foot-diameter dome that features 65 vibrant stained glass panels created during her residency at the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics.

Schaechter’s artwork is a testament to the power of craft and what’s possible when vision and mastery push the perceived limits of stained glass. Referred to herself as a “militant ornamentalist”, Schaechter employs her signature glass engraving and layering process to create a rich world within the dome, creating panels teeming with fantastical insects, flora, birds, and beasts. By situating the viewer at the center, Super/Natural invites contemplation of inner space, how we experience environments neurologically and psychologically, and outer space, how we extend ourselves into our surroundings.

Experience the exhibition through Schaechter’s eyes and gain deeper insight into the artistry and innovation behind her work!

This talk will be take place in MCD’s MakeArt Lab. Come by early or stay after to explore the exhibition and step into Super/Natural.
