Earlier this year, I was able to experience it myself in Schaechter\u2019s home studio and felt a curious combination of serenity and awe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This is by design, it turns out: Radiance has a profound effect on human beings \u2014 something that medieval architects and glass artisans understood centuries ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI am not a religious person, but it is hard not to feel overcome by a sense of awe and wonder when you enter the dome,\u201d said Laura Turner Igoe, chief curator at the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/michenerartmuseum.org\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">James A. Michener Art Museum<\/a> in Doylestown, Pa. The eight-foot-tall work, and nine glass panels and two related drawings exploring humanity\u2019s relationship with the cosmos, are now on view there in \u201cJudith Schaechter: Super\/Natural,\u201d which opened April 12 and runs through Sept. 14.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou are surrounded by a riot of plants, insects, birds,\u201d Igoe said, and even \u201cskeletons and bones. It represents both the glorious abundance of life and its interconnectedness with death and decay. It\u2019s beautiful, but it\u2019s also a little scary.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Schaechter created the piece during her recently completed stint as an artist in residence at the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics in her home base of Philadelphia, some 40 miles from the Michener. The center was on her radar because she had read and enjoyed a 2013 book on the science of consciousness and beauty called \u201cThe Aesthetic Brain\u201d by Dr. Anjan Chatterjee, the neurologist and professor who founded and<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>directs the center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When Schaechter wrote to him several years ago, her timing was fortuitous: She learned that the center regularly has an artist in residence, and that its current resident was nearing the end of his time there. She eagerly volunteered to go next.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Once there, she wanted to create an immersive work that placed a human being at the center of a \u201cthree-tiered cosmos,\u201d she said in a video interview. The resulting luminous structure is a kind of quiet, wondrous sanctuary space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Chatterjee said he was not surprised that Schaechter\u2019s work evoked this kind of reaction. \u201cAwe typically occurs in the presence of vastness, where a person feels small and yet connected to something larger,\u201d he said in an email interview. \u201cBrain networks that induce contemplation and implement rewards are presumably activated. Endogenous endorphins can be released with the pleasurable feelings of transcendence and oxytocin with the feelings of connectedness. Looking upward helps induce this feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Schaechter sits atop the art world glass firmament in the United States, beginning her career with a B.F.A. in glass from Rhode Island School of Design in 1983, and recently receiving the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/smithsoniancraftshow.org\/visionary-awards\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">2024 Smithsonian Visionary Award<\/a>. She is represented by <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.claireoliver.com\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Claire Oliver Gallery<\/a>, and her work can be found in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, among others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNo one works in glass the way Judith does,\u201d Igoe said. She recalled a recent visit to the Met and seeing a three-part stained glass window, \u201cGarden Landscape,\u201d designed by Agnes Northrop in the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany. \u201cI think a work like that is perhaps comparable to \u2018Super\/Natural\u2019 in its virtuosity of technique and immersive qualities,\u201d she wrote, also citing \u201cThe Dream Garden\u201d by Maxfield Parrish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBut of course, the Northrop piece was created by a large studio; Judith made all the glass in \u2018Super\/Natural\u2019 herself,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last month, Schaechter spoke about the work in a video interview from her beautifully restored 19th-century rowhouse in Philadelphia. The conversation has been edited and condensed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">What was your artistic ambition during your residency at the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They study three things: beauty and morality; the built environment and wellness; and engagement with art.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I wanted to do a project that wrestled with the question of beauty and morality, but it didn\u2019t inspire me artistically. Around the time that my residency began, I was also doing a lot of research into natural history prints, especially by women, because apparently, in the 17th and 18th centuries, this was one thing women were allowed to do in the realm of art. I was really inspired by the work of, for example, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.britishmuseum.org\/collection\/animals\/maria-sibylla-merian-pioneering-artist-flora-and-fauna\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Maria Sibylla Merian<\/a>. These were allegedly people attempting to make objective images of nature. But they really didn\u2019t look very objective to me \u2014 they looked like art prevailed over science. So I wanted to do something with that kind of imagery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">What is it like to spend time at the center?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It\u2019s an interesting vibe. I mean, there are maybe about 15 people at any given time, there are undergraduates, and the undergraduates often have a dual major with something artistic, like architecture or fine arts. There\u2019s a [medical student studying] plastic surgery, and he\u2019s very interested in aesthetics for obvious reasons. And so every week at the lab meeting, everyone talks about their projects and where they are, and gives an update, including Dr. Chatterjee and me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">I\u2019ve been thinking about this since I had the chance to step inside \u201cSuper \/ Natural\u201d: Why do you think that glass, particularly the experience of seeing light come through glass, inspires awe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I think it\u2019s very biological. I think we have a physical response to radiant light, and we get kind of used to seeing clear light. Colored light is more magical because it doesn\u2019t read as nothingness. Most art is produced to be seen in a reflected light situation, and you are not designed as a human being to stare into the sun. So what I think a good <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vam.ac.uk\/articles\/stained-glass-an-introduction?srsltid=AfmBOopr2cElXmzMwszbKvqrCSzXzZH12LvjOoWQ80YbZ_JBZdLhmvx1\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">stained glass<\/a> artist does is modulate that light to make it visible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">It\u2019s almost as though it makes light palpable. Glass enables you to catch something ephemeral.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Yes, people love radiant light. You know, people put their vodka bottles in their kitchen windows when they\u2019re empty. It doesn\u2019t have to be something exalted and fancy; people just really respond to it. It has this incredible power.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">What do you hope people will experience when they encounter it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I hope to inspire people the way I am inspired. Every single thing in the dome is from my imagination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I really appreciate all technology, so when I say that I wanted to do something for the field of craft with the dome, it\u2019s not at the expense of, say, A.I., necessarily. But I do think that people fall in love with these technologies and devalue others. Never forget that we invented A.I., never forget what we can do with our hands and our own brains. That\u2019s why I didn\u2019t use a lot of reference material for the dome. I mean, I\u2019m 64, and all my references are in my head now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
