“Kim Schoenstadt’s Closer to Nature Series (Mobile Drawings,) literally changes the urban landscape that frames them. In both Falling Water and Still Pond, luscious images of nature are married to drawn architectural elements and commercially designed landscape. Schoenstadt’s work presents a wry comment of the constructed nature of all our environs and the propensity towards urban sprawl. She inverts the concept of Frank Lloyd Wright’s seminal building, Falling Water, and the architect’s commission to make his client feel “closer to nature”. Creating a frame within a frame, the city itself plays a role in the work by encasing the landscapes, which feature architectural constructions of their own.”
