Encaustic carving, (12 × 17.75 × 1.75 inches), wall hung
Materials: encaustic medium, photograph, powdered pigment, birch panel and frame
Moved by the many swallowtail wings left behind in a garden, I created a mosaic of their wings and photographed them, intrigued with the intersecting shape and form, color and line. As I created their composition, I thought of the shared thread of humanity in our times, despite the many differences, and how we must work together to make our world a more healed place. When we draw on each others’ strengths, we become stronger and more beautiful.
Macro photography was printed onto kozo paper and layered repeatedly with molten beeswax and damar resin, fused between every layer, carved and pigmented end-to-end, and composed onto a carved background that was also pigmented. Mounted onto a deep birch panel, these wings are ready for your wall.
