I aim
to evoke a sense of possibility with these paintings, inviting the viewer to
participate with the figures in the potential journey that awaits. The figures
refer to the material body - preserved both in form and wax suggesting the
protective, grounded emotions, as well as the unstable ones carried within the
body. Working in the medium of encaustic (beeswax and tree sap), allows the flow
of the narrative to build through fused layers of beeswax, culminating in a
journey of possibilities.
