Relic of Her
6X6 Encaustic on Wood
This encaustic work layers figure, memory, and atmosphere into a single luminous surface. A transferred classical female form emerges through veils of molten beeswax, partially obscured and partially revealed. She reads less as portrait and more as artifact, a presence carried forward through time.
Fields of blush pink, saffron, and warm ivory drift across the ground, creating a soft, radiant haze around the figure. Embedded text fragments and organic textures surface through the wax, suggesting archival remnants or recovered narrative.
Built through successive layers of fused beeswax and pigment, the surface holds depth and translucency. Scraped passages, suspended bubbles, and softened edges preserve the history of the process rather than conceal it.
“Relic of Her” sits between reverence and erosion, holding the tension between what is remembered, what is lost, and what endures.
