This is the piece that started my pining for Aili’s stunning new body of work for her current exhibition with Katy Stone. It deserves a close-up. Open 1-5 today. ‘Solis’ is made with acrylic and thread on canvas and muslin over panel 72 x 48 x 3 in In honor of Hilda Lucia Solis who was the first Latina woman to serve in the US Senate, where she sought to pass environmental justice legislation. She ultimately became the first Latina woman to serve in the US Cabinet. As a congresswoman, Solis is most known for her work on environmental issues as a member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, the Committee on Natural Resources, and the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. She made the promotion of green-collar jobs a priority and sponsored the Southern California portion of the California Wild Heritage Act to create or enlarge many wilderness areas. #ailischmeltz #johanssonprojects #receiver #katystone #cawomen (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbkgSBBLPNm/?utm_medium=tumblr

This quiet and ethereal work appears to be floating, as the transparent layers of color overlap and glow. The shadows are a crucial element as they echo on the wall, a projected drawing. Reflection Circle, 23.5" x 22.5", acrylic on laser cut acrylic, pins. From the exhibition 'Receiver' on view through April 23rd @johansson_projects Swipe for detail. - Repost from @katystone.art #johanssonprojects #receiver #katystone #cawomen #ailischmeltz (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbiNidLl9YC/?utm_medium=tumblr

The works of Aili Schmeltz and Katy Stone move between individual and collective experience, tying personal stories to shared landscape. The formal proximity of these two artists is loosely apparent, as each focuses on the tools of color and material to reexamine spatial relationships. Aili employs the narrative mediums of painted canvas, fabric dye, and thread, while Katy uses laser cut aluminum in concert with sculptural relief and shadow. Each artist in her investigation intimately communicates an awareness of connection to nature and our place in it. ‘Receiver’ is open today from 1-5pm @johansson_projects #johanssonprojects #receiver #katystone #cawomen #ailischmeltz (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbSuP-BlBY8/?utm_medium=tumblr

‘The Botanical Mind: Art, Mysticism and The Cosmic Tree’ — We love reading what our exhibiting artists are into. This stunner by Aili Schmeltz gives all the vibes and greets you as you walk in to see our current show. ‘Cedar’ Thread, acrylic, and fabric dye on canvas and muslin over panel 60 x 48 in Done in honor of Nadia Berg — who calls herself Cedar, who lived nearly 200 feet off the ground for 11 months in Humboldt County's Nanning Creek grove. Cedar had made herself at home in a tree dubbed Grandma, a massive double redwood joined at the base. Aili’s exhibition, ‘Receiver’ with Katy Stone is open today and tomorrow from 1-5pm @johansson_projects #Ailischmeltz #johanssonprojects #receiver #katystone #cawomen (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbP7a30rcJo/?utm_medium=tumblr
