Booth Event – Book Signing: Kristin Schnell

“In first looking at Kristin Schnell’s stunning ode to the natural world, told through color, form, and bird, it took me a minute to understand the process of creating art in collaboration with a living creature. Inspired by the beauty of stained glass windows she experienced as a child in church windows, she developed a sensitivity to the movement of the sun, the changing color casts, and ideas of chance and spirituality. Her work is, in fact, an altar of sorts, devoted to the beauty and fragility of the avian world, accompanied by colorful sets that she builds and paints herself.” (Aline Smithson) German photographer Kristin Schnell presents birds in captivity as a symbol of the cage that humans tend to put themselves in. Her photos have been widely published and exhibited internationally.

Kehrer Verlag is delighted to welcome the artist to a signing of her debut publication “Of Cages and Feathers”, which will also be available as a limited Collector’s Edition.
