    The 1870 Art Center Gallery presents Through a Glass, Darkly, an exhibition of new workby Silke Henkel-Wallace. This exhibition features large scale mixed media work on canvas that explore the continuity of culture and individual. Of her work, Dr. Christina zu Mecklenburg wrote, “They lie between still life, portraiture, and mood … they take you on a night flight deep into the realm of beauty, where lies an abyss, that mysterious, domain of shadow whose ghostly beauty lies beyond our ability to identify.” As her work is primarily exhibited and sold on the east coast and in Germany, this exhibition offers a rare Bay Area opportunity to see this work.

    The haunting work on display features images taken from old photographs and postcards of the 19th and early 20th century, often found by Henkel-Wallace at flea markets in Berlin or the east coast. These images are augmented and extended by the paintbrush, creating ethereal impression of lost messages and faintly-grasped meaning.
