“The Liminal Gates” The continuation of 'The Liminal State' series, 'The Liminal Gates' explores what happens after the transcendence of death. Is it rebirth? Is it nirvana? Is it liberation? Is it extinction? The Tibetan Book of the Dead tells us that there are six states of existence between death and rebirth, what happens after? In Kristin Schattenfeld-Rein’s latest exhibition, she explores this gloaming of what happens after you have moved through the six bardo's of the Liminal State [This Life, Meditation, the Dream, Dying, Dharma & Existence] and pass through The Liminal Gate. Physically the pieces are a blending of natural elements (glass and sand) with unnatural and manmade mediums (paint and epoxy resin) to create a visceral and textural journey through these gates. “The Liminal Gate” is pushing further into the realm of death, rebirth & liberation. Exploring what what happens after we die. To Schattenfeld-Rein, each step on this journey requires its own color representation & tactility. The Tibetan Buddhists believe everything we do requires our absolute attention in keeping with that idea each piece had its own intention and focus. In other words, there is no easy way to pass through the liminal gate. “The Liminal Gate” includes different representations of these concepts. According to the artist, “The pieces adhere – just barely – to the convention of wall hangings, but they creep past their edges, becoming sculptural and suggestive of something beyond the obvious. The work is layer upon layer of varying materials adding and subtracting until a moment of grace is achieved.”

I'm a mark maker. I add layer after layer, mark after mark, adding and subtracting to achieve a moment of grace. I'm a multi-media artist primarily focused on painting. In my work I'm keen on using color, texture and chemical reactions on the canvas to create what I call meditations. The word reticulation best describes the effect I try and achieve with my paintings. I am curious in how different mediums and chemicals react to one another and what they leave behind on the canvas. I'm interested in exploring and creating my own mythology as well as the ideas of established religion and philosophy. Since becoming a mother of two very young children, I have discovered that my work has evolved. I still am interested in creating meditations but the work has become more about building and growth because, that's what I am doing with my children helping them to build and grow. The confluence of color, texture, environment & mediation is what it's about for me right now.
