Encaustic is a wax based process originating from ancient Greece. My fascination for the encaustic method lies in its luminosity, translucence, unpredictability, and stubborn independence. It demands a high amount of physical labor that I deeply embrace.
I have been embedding maps, articles, and paper information into my encaustic layers. I love how wax covers up; it both obscures and reveals and makes the viewer unsure, yet familiar, of what is there.
I work with pure and refined beeswax - local or gifted. I layer and carve it, pour it, incise it, color it, torch it and texture it over paper maps and informational sources. I build up these wax layers to create my own navigational systems. I re-chart daily and special treks from above views looking down and ground views looking up and re-imagine the shapes of the earth and the sky.
