“My relationship with
wax frees me of lines and boundaries alike."

The transparent and luminous Beeswax is a fascinating medium. Its process ignites a sensual joy of abandonment while you seek to restrain the material in its defined form. The playful exchange with the medium and its alluring narrative is where I seek true pleasure.

Encaustic literally means ‘Burning in’. The transparent Beeswax can be scratched, scrapped, layered, heated, melted, fused, and blended. An ancient technique of the Greeks where they would literally burn in the wax with colours to make their art work last for centuries.
