Erika Schmitt / Vessels of the Soul

“The depth of movement through the stillness of form is ever present along with the energy that is taking place between objects and form (container) … absolutely stunning in its inner language of soul, and connection for what appears to be divergent objects rhythmically dancing together.” – L.H.

My mixed media pieces reflect my passion for figurative images and shapes, as well as my need for layers of many materials to work into and out of. It's important to me that the viewer be somehow involved with the process, or at least privy to it. Inspired by poetry, legend and emotion, my work is made from collected, found items, - mostly old and worn - that tend to have a story of their own. Every piece is a one of a kind treasure.
