Local artist and writer JL Schnabel’s work has a certain… emotional charge. Schnabel, whose second show at the Mew Gallery runs through September 10th, is well known for her Blood Milk jewelry line, created from “haunted” antique objects and bone.

Her exhibit at the popular gallery in the Bella Vista neighborhood of South Philadelphia, called “I Am Writing to You With My Eyes,” is a new collection of emotionally turbulent portraits, texts and drawings.

It is said to be “based on the idea of the feminine heart being displaced by psychic trauma, teetering on the edge of madness and yet still retaining a desire to be hopeful.”

There is nothing light about that! Sounds intense!
