Encaustic carving, (11.5 x 9.5 in frame, ~8 x 10 in image), wall hung
Materials: encaustic medium, photograph, powdered pigment, archival matboard, wooden frame
The "AWE" Collection was created by dipping into the abundance of beautiful flora discovered while floating dreamily through Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens with a camera in hand and a wildly beating heart. My eyes widened in awe as I tried to take in the wonder of organic shapes, textures, forms, and glowing colors that added such vibrancy to the gray day filled with gentle rain.
The eucalyptus bark in this image was printed onto archival paper, layered with beeswax and damar resin (encaustic medium), fused between every layer, hand-carved to create rhythm and detail, and colored with powdered pigment to convey my experience of being with these otherworldly specimens of nature.
“Oh, Radiant Rain” is mounted onto archival matboard and adhered to a black wooden frame; it is wired and ready to hang on the wall in your corner of the world. May the beauty and diversity of Australian flora fill you with awe.
