10X10 Encaustic on Wood
This 10×10 encaustic on wood layers memory, material, and light into a compact mixed-media composition. Translucent fields of golden wax veil embedded elements. Fragments of text, geometric impressions, and a transferred vintage photograph surface and recede beneath fused layers.
The palette leans warm and atmospheric. Saffron, amber, and oxidized reds build a sun-saturated ground, interrupted by cooled passages of gray and muted violet near the base. Circular impressions and grid-like stampings introduce structure against the otherwise fluid wax surface.
The encaustic process allows each layer to hold history. Scraped passages, suspended bubbles, and softened edges preserve earlier gestures rather than erase them. The faint figure at center reads like a found memory, partially obscured, partially revealed.
Despite its small scale, the piece carries weight. It feels archival, tactile, and timeworn, as if unearthed rather than constructed.
