ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Water represents life. It can be associated with birth, fertility, and refreshment and as a transcendence of the earthly condition. Water symbolizes purification of the soul and admission of faith. However, water can also be destructive (as in the biblical flood which only Noah and his family escaped); water drowns and erodes, wearing away even the densest of stones given enough time. Water is also one of the FOUR ELEMENTS essential to life. In this form, it is represented by undulating lines, or a triangle pointing down.
Colours commonly associated with it are BLUE and GREEN. Its qualities are fluidity and cohesiveness. Flowing water usually represents change and the passage of time.
Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.
WHAT IS ENCAUSTIC WAX PAINTING
Once I discovered Encaustic Wax Art, I immediately fell in love with the possibilities of this medium. Unfortunately, I could not find anyone to teach me, and so began a journey of discovery which is still ongoing. During the search for information, I found out about Cold wax. Because I could not find any local teachers or materials, so I approached one of the local paint manufacturers, and together we created both the encaustic and Cold wax Medium. I love the expressive interaction with this very tactile material. You have to really get in there. In mixing Cold Wax with oils, Ive been able to use the transparency and luminosity of the wax and paint combo to create incredible visual depth.
