by a scrape of paint, a swatch of sky, memories and bones, bodies of water and floating cities. All this and more invade the work of Sima Schloss. Her goal is not to beautify the already beautiful forms of nature but to strip the veneer, crack open the vessel and display the vulnerability, the glossy innards of life and human wants. Practicing pop culture alchemy, Sima transmutes words and images into collage both humorous and haunting.
