This exhibition consists of two related series of abstract paintings created over the last year. All of the paintings are painted on specially made plywood supplied by a friend. Though using different shapes; vertical stripes and concentric circles; the unifying focus of both series is the use of color to create rhythm, movement and mood. The stripe paintings are horizontally formatted on long thin rectangles with vertical stripes that reflect the direction of the wood grain. Each of the stripes are two inches wide painted in two rows one above the other with an area of color or bare wood that separates the two rows and the top row from the wall. Schneider has commented that she sees the colors as if they were notes in music moving across the work quickly or slowly depending of the color interaction. She has also likened these paintings to times of the day and the colors for each work are specifically chosen to reflect that intention. The colors are opaque and mat but still glow as if illuminated beneath their surface. The placement of the colors right next to each other reinforces this impression and helps to convey the atmospheric times of day.
