About this artwork
SEAcrets – Monoprints and collages on real nautical charts
In this new series SEAcrets, I combine the techniques of gel printing and collage to create very special works that invite the viewer on a visual journey of discovery.
Every work of art begins with a gel print—a monoprint created through layering color and texture. Each work is unique, a "one of a kind," as each print can only be used once and is identical to the next.
The layers of color… that overlap during the printing process are reminiscent of the structure and character of maps. At the same time, these prints are also printed directly onto maps or city plans.
Real nautical charts - given to me by passionate sailors - form more than just the background for my collages: they are an emotional anchor that connects my work to the world of the sea, navigation and travel.

« Wanderlust and curiosity drive me on and the only way not to get lost is to survey the imaginary world. I am the cartographer of our longing places. »
In the SEAmaps, Schäfer's love of the sea, her collection of old land and sea maps, her fascination for ships, containers and ports are combined with her love of travel and the joy of "getting lost" - in foreign places, past times, somewhere between cities, countries, islands and oceans.
Her central approach is collage - dismantling, assembling, combining elements from other contexts and integrating them into new perspectives, scenes and actions.
