Walking through the yard one summer morning, I stopped when I saw the yellow moth in the water, hoping to free it. When I realized I was too late, I marveled at the moments in life that are fleeting and was reminded to appreciate even the smallest of things. The reflection of the tree and sky above and my own hand reaching over the space made me grateful to be alive.

Printed onto archival paper and layered with molten encaustic medium, this carving was fused repeatedly between every layer, meticulously carved and pigmented end-to-end. This piece was mounted onto birch panel and placed into a floater frame, ready to hang on your wall.
