"Beauty and Protection"
Encaustic sculpture, (6×10×6 inches), pedestal piece
Materials: encaustic medium, fabric, photograph, powdered pigment
This sculpture originated from a macro photograph of the Common Blue Morpho Butterfly. When closed, the wings show the brown pattern with "eyes" to help ward off predators. When open, a brilliant cerulean blue iridescent color is unveiled, mirroring the innermost beauty inside us that is revealed when surrounded by safety.
