Wendi Schneider’s “Into the Mist” Featured on All About Photo

“A quiet pilgrimage among the trees revealed the beloved fog that comforted me as a child growing up in the South. Embraced in a vapor evocative of the melancholy light of dusk, it was as though the clouds sighed an amorphous, dewy veil over the lush woods. I felt outside of time as we drove along the winding road, photographing through the windows and myriad layers of love and loss. Moving and still – it was a blink in the continuum of history, in a period like no other in our lifetime.“

– Wendi Schneider

Wendi Schneider’s ethereal gold-leafed photographs from “Into the Mist” were recently featured on All About Photo alongside an illuminating artist statement detailing her inspiration and process for the series.

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’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.

Catherine Couturier Gallery is delighted to present Into the Mist, an exhibition of new work by gallery artist Wendi Schneider.

In her latest series, Schneider offers glimpses of respite amidst the vague unknowing that has defined living in the time of COVID. She ventured into the mountains of North Carolina at the end of Summer 2020 to find a reprieve in shinrin-yoku, the Japanese term for the practice of forest bathing. The photographs captured on a drive amongst the trees and fog inspired Into the Mist.

“Schneider shoots with the ghosts of Brigman, Steichen, Stieglitz and other members of the pre-Modernist Photo Secession standing by her side, lending her work a timeless, beguiling air of memory. For Schneider, time itself is her demeanor, her medium where a conversation well over a century old continues between her and those artists who inspire her . . .  Paying homage to those who used photographic imagery like ingredients in some pictorial gumbo, she uses time as a spice infused with narrative, a flavor seeped into the process of layering effects. Building a bridge into this digital age, Schneider unabashedly flaunts her camera vision, informing it with a printmaker’s devices and a painter’s disregard for rules.” – Rick Wester
