Works on Paper III pushes the series further into color, material, repetition, and an increasingly personal visual language.

Created between 2022 and 2024, the works continue the exploratory process established in the earlier series, but with a greater density of media and a more integrated approach to composition. Paint, photographic fragments, printed matter, found materials, repeated lines, circles, grids, and areas of intense color compete for space while becoming increasingly dependent upon one another. Images are not simply assembled; they are obscured, interrupted, resurfaced, and absorbed into larger visual systems.

The interest in multiples and variation continues, with related compositions repeatedly reconstructed to test how changes in placement, material, color, and gesture alter the final image. Repetition becomes less about recreating a composition than returning to it—allowing the same underlying structure to accumulate different histories.

At the same time, familiar geometric devices begin to assume another role. Circles, divided forms, connecting lines, and diagrammatic structures begin to resemble sigils or encoded symbols. Their meanings are not fixed, but their repeated presence gives them a sense of intention and permanence. Set against the temporary language of popular culture, advertising, photographs, packaging, and other found material, these forms appear almost as markers: attempts to organize, preserve, or communicate something through the noise.

That tension extends into the materials themselves. Ephemeral images coexist with objects and fragments that suggest memory, record, or duration—from personal photographs and discarded printed matter to natural forms such as fossilized stone. The immediate and disposable are repeatedly placed against things that seem capable of surviving them.

Works on Paper III captures a point at which Schaefer's collage practice begins to operate not only through juxtaposition, but through an emerging system of recurring forms—part composition, part symbol, and increasingly, a language of its own.
