About the Item

Break is a bold 9.25 x 8.25 inch mixed media fabric collage by artist Linda Kamille Schmidt, presented in a 14.25 x 13.25 inch frame. Horizontal bands of fabric in golden yellow, cobalt blue, magenta, olive, burgundy, lavender, and burnt orange are stacked and layered across the composition, interrupted at center by a single vertical column of golden fabric that cuts through the horizontals like a pause — or a break — in an otherwise steady rhythm. The tension between horizontal and vertical is the animating force of this piece. The left side reads as a loose, improvisational patchwork of overlapping panels with raw, frayed edges; the right is anchored by a large, calm field of golden yellow and slate blue, more settled and expansive. A luminous chartreuse rectangle glows at the intersection of the two forces, where the vertical band crosses the upper horizontal — the hottest point in the composition, the place where the break occurs. Throughout, Schmidt's hand-stitching in gold and teal thread traces the seams with quiet precision, and small straight pins dot the surface as both fastener and detail. Translucent layers allow colors to shift and deepen where fabrics overlap, adding complexity to what might otherwise read as flat geometric forms. Break rewards the eye that lingers — a work of deceptive simplicity that reveals increasing richness the longer you look.
