Wendi Schneider’s Ethereal Illusions in Shadow & Light Magazine

Wendi’s images are featured in the Language of the Land edition of Shadow & Light Magazine.

“I create illuminated impressions of glimpses of grace in our vulnerable natural world. My work is a celebration of the senses anchored in the visual – an exploration of my spiritual connection to sinuous organic forms and the transcendence I find in their beauty. I preserve mystical moments that still time for me. Viewing the world in vignettes, I am calmed by the visual balance of a compelling composition. Subtle variations of rich hues move me, and I find magic in the mist and mystery of the obscured . . .”
–– Wendi Schneider

Wendi Schneider’s “Into the Mist” Featured in ArtDoc Magazine “Voices of Nature” Issue

The images were printed with archival pigment inks on Japanese kozo paper – made from the inner bark of mulberry trees. White gold leaf was then applied on the verso, infusing the artist’s hand and suffusing the images with the implied spirituality of the precious metal. The filtered, dappled light that glimmered through the branches is echoed in the shimmer of the gilded prints.

Wendi Schneider’s “Evenings with the Moon” Featured in SXSE Magazine

“In ‘Evenings with the Moon’ I contemplate the power of universal experiences to unify and find transcendence. My images of the night draw on the moon as muse and the juxtaposition of darkness and light to express our shared longing for freedom, peace, love, and harmony amidst the chaos of the world. The gilded prints echo the luminosity of their celestial inspiration. This synthesis of form and content, paired with poetry and music, encourages the viewer to consider the commonalities in our collective consciousness.”

Wendi Schneider Featured in “Thinking About Photography”

“I have chosen six photographers for this showcase whose art runs a wide gamut of what “staged imagery” can involve. Several have found imaginative ways to transform the everyday through reinvention and abstraction, finding the power in the ordinary. While others seek to evoke a mood,  capture vanishing moments of beauty, or even include the presentation of the print as part of their staging.

A photo reviewer once told me I was a film-maker – and I think that describes these photographers as well. The desire to control what exists within and without the frame is at the heart of staged photography.”

“In Diffusion Volume X, we pay homage to the history and celebration of our forged bonds, so cheers to the technicians, the historians, the cyber artists, the chemists, the alchemists, the magicians, the purists, the rebels, and the visionaries! Ten cheers for the crafters of photography.”
