Encaustic sculpture, (24 x 21.5 x 4 in), wall hung
Materials: encaustic medium, photographs, bovine bones, metal, waxed linen thread, powdered pigment, marble, mica flakes, wire
As these tiny details of leaves changing at the turn of the season reflect the beauty of color and form, may we know and see the inner beauty that resides in each other and inside each of us, remembering that we are part of the same whole. By honoring this sacred nature inherent in the universe and in ourselves, we bring goodness and light to the world.
This sculpture began with macro photographs of small leaves discovered on top of a mountain, taken under a clear blue sky. I was drawn to the holes that showed the beginnings of breakdown, beautiful in their own right. Unified by a metal rim found in our old barn, I enjoyed the symmetry of form, with room for individuation and expression in the life of each leaf. The bovine bones were collected on a neighbor’s land, now imbued with new life, filled with compassion and basic goodness.
