Melanie Schoeniger
Germany Nominee Still Life Amateur "MALEA" This series is about our longing for paradise, that mystical transcendent state of mind. Unpacking the wonder of being alive, Melanie Schoeniger explores themes such as perception and interconnectedness and contemplates our place in the larger scheme of things. The German artist uses a philosophical yet intuitive approach to reveal the beauty and essence of nature as a means to create awe and wonder and to uncover mysteries beyond all stardust. To honor a sustainable process, Melanie experiments with alternative printing techniques and materials; she also creates handmade artist books. She perceives all her work as fundamentally being climate work contributing to a life-sustaining future in a mythopoetic way. Her award winning work has been published and on view internationally. |
