the space between you and me _04

christine schuhbeck‘s velvet works are a captivating exploration of texture and dimension. she saturates velvet fabric with a liquid resin mixture, which then cures and hardens, capturing the soft and tender quality of the fabric in a three-dimensional sculptural form. through a meticulous process, schuhbeck layers primer and deep, non-reflecting black ink, ensuring the texture of the velvet remains visible. the result is a „frozen“ moment, a preservation of the velvet‘s essence, transformed and immortalized. these works showcase schuhbeck‘s unique ability to merge fragility and strength, softness and permanence, in a striking interplay of light and shadow.
