Thomas Arthur Schaefer
Works on Paper I begins an exhibition series centered on collage as both a physical process and a way of thinking.
Thomas Arthur Schaefer builds images through accumulation, removal, interruption, and recombination. Photographic fragments, printed matter, drawing, paint, and found visual material are cut from their original contexts and brought into new relationships. Edges, seams, shifts in scale, changes in surface, and the evidence of the hand remain part of the image rather than disappearing behind it.
The exhibition brought together 108 works on paper created between 2016 and 2018, alongside five larger mixed-media works created specifically in response to the brewery and the people behind it. Built from Schaefer's fragmented photographs of brewing machinery, collage, painting, and sculptural elements, the five works transformed the industrial equipment of beer-making into dense, almost monstrous mechanical forms.
Each was organized around an elemental color and an archway containing an oil-painted portrait of one of the brewery's five owners. Together, the works considered the brewery through the language of transformation: separate materials, processes, people, and elements brought together to produce something that did not previously exist—a parallel Schaefer saw between the making of beer and the making of art.
The five works extended physically into interactive ofrendas. Candles were lit throughout the run of the exhibition, while brewery patrons were invited to leave objects and offerings of their own. The installations consequently accumulated another layer of material over time, allowing the audience and the life of the brewery to become part of the work.
Works on Paper I established the framework for an ongoing series while remaining distinct within it: an exhibition of collage that also became a site-specific tribute to the place in which it was presented.
