Layers of Light
Layers of time, layers of meaning.
"Presently my work continues to unfold, in layers in both meaning and of materials.
Photography has always been a crucial component of my life but when I discovered the encaustic medium I felt at home. I love the overall process and I see it as a metaphor for life itself. A painting evolves through the accumulation of countless layers of the hot, melted, encaustic medium. I think of how this cumulative process of layering and fusing those layers resembles the collection of life experiences. Each layer presents options, possibilities and choices. The image, while important is deconstructed to allow for subliminal connection with the viewer. I have recently encountered a new awareness, perhaps for the first time, my need for authentic self-expression and how to apply it within my work.
This current body of paper & encaustic sculptural works, came from solitary time, and forced isolation. Managing the chaos of the external by carefully dissecting time into small manageable moments. Perfect little pieces fluttering, layering then fused together yet still weightless and ethereal. In the end allowing the process to guide me as it neatly comes together, order and conformity restored."
