Themes and
style:
Schoorel is interested in the mind’s
capacity for perception and visual understanding. She has pondered the
mechanisms long and hard – distal stimulus, transduction, proximal stimulus:
how the object stimulates the senses, how the image is processed through neural
activity and so on – and her work is presumably devised with extraordinary
precision to isolate these stages in separate intervals. You see an unfamiliar
image; you try to discover more to confirm whatever you have guessed about it;
what you discover is not always confirmed by everything else you now see there.
Techniques:
Is
developed in oil on canvas paintings
