"An Immensity of Silence" is created from four paintings, size 36"x 36. " Each Encaustic painting stands alone and can be purchased individually or in multiples. Pictured here the paintings create a quadratych size 72" x 72."
Up to 50+ layers of purified beeswax mixed with earth pigments and a fir-tree resin called damar are painted on Russian Baltic birch panels then each layer fused with the flame of a torch to the layer beneath. My minimal aesthetic and choice of all-natural earth elements create patina and texture that is storied, translucent, and luminous. In this simplicity unexpected levels of complexity surface.
