From far, i recognised them as strings of wood, nothing too interesting.
Nearer, the lines, texture, shape and colour caught my attention.
Suddenly i realised the background is a sheet of fake shadow print!
Then, my gaze returned to the pattern on the wood pieces again.
Couldn’t tear myself away, i just had to scrutinised each and every piece.
Mixed Forest, 2000

Schatz uses her personal ties to localities as an entry point into this installation dealing with the correlation between memory and environment. The wooden curtain recalls the various types of trees surrounding her home.
