Pamela Schilderman's complex body of work exhibits a critical interest in science, nature and beauty, always from the point of view of the artist. Schilderman's practice encompasses drawing, painting, photography and three-dimensional work to cross expected categorising boundaries. Although seemingly disparate, her body of work is held together by key motifs such as the 'circle' or 'dot' as well as notions of transformation, repetition and the links between knowledge and intelligence.
Schilderman finds beauty in the small variations to be found in things which might seem at first to be identical. Drawing on ideas of repetition and visual saturation, she is interested in how we select information from the world around us, and how this is reconfigured and processed by the eye and the brain. Despite the calmness of her work, aesthetically it hovers on the point of confusion, as both meaning and form seem to shift before your eyes.
