Judith Schaechter's 'Super/Natural' Stained Glass Installation Opens at Claire Oliver Gallery
Judith Schaechter has unveiled 'Super/Natural,' a stained glass sculpture installation at Claire Oliver Gallery in Harlem. The work, which stands approximately eight feet tall and features 65 panes topped with a geodesic dome, creates an immersive space for individual contemplation of nature. Inspired by the biophilia hypothesis—the idea that humans have an innate connection to the natural world—the installation depicts floral, insect, and avian forms. Schaechter developed the piece during a residency at the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics, engaging with research on how the brain processes aesthetic experiences. The exhibition runs through May 23.
