How Juditch Schaechter's stained glass practice helped me develop a better sensibility of the connection between glass and printmaking.

Judith Schaechter. Wild Life. 2017. Stained glass 48" by 44".

One of the most surprising things about my experience at Tyler so far has been my recent development and love for glass as a medium to work with. I'm currently taking an Imagery in Glass class where I started exploring playing with flash glass, a type of glass made by blowing a hollow clear form with a thin layer of color on the outside. It is then cut open and slumped flat into sheets. My exploration and playing with sandblasting and layering this material led me to learning about Judith Schaechter's work - LITERALLY the queen of stained glass.

Judith's art reminds me so much of printmaking, mostly mezzotint like etchings and drawings done via lithographic process. What I didn't realize is how closely her practice mimics some of the printmaking language and processes that print based artists are constantly using. You can learn more about the nitty gritty of her process via her youtube channel, which has tons of videos including demos of how her work is made. You should do a deep dive if you are interested.

Judith Schaechter. Over our Dead Bodies. 2020. stained glass. 38" by 60".

So how does she do it? There are two major formal techniques that she works with that are actually somewhat traditional and inherent to stained glass works.

She works in layers by sandblasting and engraving through the outer colored layers of the glass to create tonal images. These images when stacked create a full range of colors and transparencies, a logic that is similar to the way we think of prints.

Texturizing and engraving the glass has a physical process so similar to carving a woodblock or drawing with mezzotint. This action and way of thinking can feel very familiar to print based artists, often an easier skill for printmakers to pick up on.

It's incredibly surprising how the history of stained glass mimics so much of the ethos of printmaking and how these formal techniques help me contextualize it as a print adjacent medium.

It’s time to revisit photographer turned novelty chandelier maker, Adam Wallacavage’s Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 1890 brownstone, b/c it celebrates spooky season all year.

Before he purchased his home, he lived in a tiny apartment across the street from famed stained glass artist Judith Schaechter. Her house was his original inspiration.

From there, he graduated to making sculptural lighting, then showing at the Jonathan LeVine gallery in NYC and all over the world.

Unlike Judith’s house, Adam’s was missing all the ornamental elements as it was modernized in the 1940s.  It was dirt cheap, so he didn’t have a place worth restoring but a place worth customizing.

He tore down walls and rebuilt the layout similar to the original design, making molds and casting plaster and turning the place into a Victorian style freak show.

After visiting the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, United Kingdom just a few months after closing on the house, he found his path to what he wanted his interior to be based on.

He describes his style as a mixture of the beach towns Wildwood, New Jersey and Cape May, New Jersey.  Wildwood is known for kitschy ’50s neon and mid-century modern motels. Cape May is known for its gingerbread Victorians.

He’s proudest of the first room he did, which was inspired by Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” It’s the room that he made the first octopus chandelier for.

Chandeliers are how he makes his living now.

He was broke when got the place, but was able to do things like bling it out in ornamental plasterwork with help from a friend who has a plaster studio and let him borrow from her extensive rubber mold collection. 

There’s a perfect long decal for fridge.

Adam says that a backpack vacuum cleaner is the best thing he ever bought to dust the house.

Adam’s advice: Don’t be afraid of messing stuff up. It can always be redone.

And don’t be afraid of what people are going to think. Do it for yourself first and not for trying to impress others.

Being pretentious works in what you do as well as what you don’t do that’s not yourself or true to your vision.

It’s okay to emulate others but always give credit to those who inspired you and try to put a spin on it.

Adam says that his home is basically a show room for his chandeliers. His studio is on the third floor as well.

His biggest indulgence is the second floor greenhouse and backyard.

It’s not finished or really started on yet, but the room under the greenhouse is going to be the seashell grotto room.

Adam’s fabulous Victorian fish tank and goldfish.

Adam’s absolute best home secret is to let your freak flag fly.

If you are remodeling, Adam says to mess with what you are getting rid of, for practice.

What a beautiful back garden.

Monday, 6 June 2022:

Scraps At Midnight Mark Lanegan (Sub Pop) (released in 2017 as a stand alone reissue, originally released in 1998)

This is Mark Lanegan’s third solo album and it came out in 1998 on both LP and CD.  It wasn’t reissued on vinyl until 2015 in the box composed of all five of Lanegan’s Sub Pop albums titled One Way Street.  The label then broke those releases out in slow turns before allowing them to go out of print again (on vinyl, you can still obtain them on CD). 

I assumed these were pricey even before Lanegan’s death but that doesn’t seem to be the case.  I bought this off eBay and didn’t pay any more for it than I would an album by anyone else in a rather well made album jacket which is gatefold and of durable quality.  Sub Pop made these reissues really nice.  I bought three previous reissues of Lanegan’s Sub Pop releases back on 28 February of this year and I am pleased to finally own all five of his Sub Pop solo albums on vinyl. 

The photos above are of the album cover, followed by the gatefold and then the back of the jacket.  I’ve always admired this artwork which is by artist Judith Schaechter whose medium is predominantly stained glass.  This cover is a detail of a piece of hers titled Jazz Funeral For Didi and it is indeed stained glass.  You can find more of her excellent work at https://www.judithschaechter.com/.  If you want to see the entirety of Jazz Funeral For Didi check under Older Works 1983-2003 and scroll down, you’ll find it. 

Below you will find photos of both sides of the inner sleeve. (I recently read someone on eBay who calls the inner sleeves “paper covers” claiming there is the album cover and then a “paper cover” for most albums.  You will then see the A-Side and B-Side of the label (or as some love to say, “record middles”).

Finally take a look at what the inside of the sleeve looks like which holds the LP.

"When in despair, it is beauty that fills us with life and inspiration.”

Judith Schaechter self-identifies as a decorative artist; working mostly in stained-glass panels, she incorporates elements of engraving, collage, painting, stenciling, and digital technology. Yet she is not bound by this art form’s traditional associations or rules and makes her mark by transcending expectations with her carefully honed skills and unique subject matter. Don't miss her work on view in "New Grit: Art & Philly Now."
