Artist Statement
The Encaustic accretion technique involves repeatedly layering molten pigmented encaustic medium onto a surface. Each layer is fused to the previous one, creating a textured and visually rich surface. I begin with an underlying pattern and use the direction of my brushstrokes to achieve the desired design. Layer upon layer, brushstrokes are applied in a systematic way, resulting in abstracted rhythms or patterns that emulate the tactile qualities found in nature.
