AILI SCHMELTZ — OBJECT/WINDOW/BOTH/NEITHER

Schmeltz presents a continuation of her Object/Window/Both/Neither series, exploring negative space in the landscape. The 8-foot diameter black disc mounted in the rocks provides a visual breath or pause in the landscape, thus quieting the desert’s assertive presence. In the give-and-take between the harsh environment and the human presence, the artist offers these works as a “more compassionate way to negotiate.” Based in Los Angeles, Schmeltz has shown throughout California, New York, and Europe. She is the current Founder and Director of Outpost Projects and former Co-Founder of Los Angeles Art Resource.
