Judith Schaechter's large-scale stained glass sculpture "Super/Natural" has opened in a solo exhibition at Claire Oliver Gallery in Harlem. The immersive, eight-foot-tall installation, resembling a secular chapel, is filled with intricate depictions of flora and fauna and is designed for a single viewer to contemplate nature.
The exhibition is significant as it represents a major new work from the renowned stained glass artist, created over two years and influenced by her residency at the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics. It directly engages with the biophilia hypothesis and the neuroscience of aesthetic experience, positioning traditional craft within contemporary dialogues about art, beauty, and our psychological connection to the natural world.
