These most recent paintings bring three-dimensional elements in direct contact with the paintings themselves, with 3-D painted wood elements extending from the painting panel or the wall, with wood parts either in low relief or with the repetition of elements from the painting manifested in 3-D.  They become structures that move into space, activating the room and wall, expanding from image into object.
 
Snider’s paintings and sculpture tap into similar imagery, often effecting a two-way transit between mediums, allowing each form to be influenced by and informed by the other, and these expanded paintings merge these practices, highlighting the theatrical and illusionistic nature of each form.
 
Small-scale collages serve as studies for the paintings.  The process of making paintings based on smaller works is one of reproduction– although there are different decisions that are made once the scale and materials have changed, there is still an aspect of ‘doubling’. When rendered at a larger scale, in oil paint on panel, the works build themselves in layers and pieces, and Snider uses layers of paint (and sometimes wood) in a way that mimics each individual layer of color and paper in a collage. In the painting “Tulips”, she has pushed that process further by making two slightly different paintings based on the same original collage. In other paintings, photo silkscreens help to create a surreal, illusionistic space, standing in for a photo-based image in the original source collage.
