Melinda Schawel 'Home Again Soon II (2nd State)' figurative 'Study for 'The Bridge'' 1990Melinda Schawel is interested in surfaces: how ink interacts with paper, light moves across time and how things appear. In Home Again Soon II (2nd State), she presents a visual ecology; a symphony of symbols. Hard to distinguish black text hangs beside black marbling, as intricate as a spiders web. In the background, brown clouds billow and thin. At once about the alchemy of paper, natural world and homesickness, this work breathes with stoicism.
