Schödl has spent the last six decades honouring a visual language. Her work incorporates letters and symbols, rhythmically repeated until they become abstract. Geometrical shapes and bold signs are intertwined with words, illuminated with gold leaf and cast on different surfaces: pages of botanical books, maps, papers, leaves, pieces of marble, sheets, which carry memories of past existence. Through the combination of linguistic and visual representation, Schödl erases the original meaning of the words and objects he uses, infusing them with a new significance. Her work challenges the social constructs of language and suggests alternative forms of expression and interpretation.
She has taken part in many important exhibitions such as the Venice Art Biennale In 2024 and in 1978, as well as the São Paulo Biennale in Brazil in 1981
