Ms. Schlachter's current polychrome works of UV cured inks on aluminum are derived from her studies and fascination with the spiritual myths of moths.

​

“I have always been Curious about the Little Things. Hidden things. Discarded things. Captured in Passing Storms. Landing all around me. Moths Blew into my Life. These “wandering death-birds”, “souls of witches”, are Creatures of Myth and Magic. Now, I Pleasure Myself in Reproducing their Feathering Wing Patterns. Layering Iridescent Inks on smooth clay boards, I Scratch & Dent at the surface with an XACTO knife, pens, and pencils revealing their enigmatic markings.I am exploring the shadows of death and reincarnations – the poems, songs, and praises that are the spirit of moths’ myths”.



Louise Schlachter lives and works in Houston, Texas.
