Rocks In My Head Panel #5

- 37 x 25 x 7 in
- Fisher Carla
Encaustic wax panel that is #5 of 5 that can work individually as an abstract work or as part of a two or more (up to five) panel mural. The base is a birchwood frame layered with beeswax, damar resin, and pigments. Rocks are recycled packing materials, avocado shells, and leechee nut shells. Water is rayon embroidery thread and pieces of packing materials. Moss and water "foam" are rayon embroidery thread. Texturizing pieces embedded in wax are salvaged Keurig coffee filters dyed with natural dyes. Texturized sandy portions are salvaged upholstery materials brushed with wax. Distinguishing feature is that water flows from right to left and covers the upper half of the panel with only foam and trailing streams in the lower half of the panel. Panel rocks and water flow pair only with panel 4.
