I Used to Hide With All The Lights Out

This abandoned church from Eastern Oregon has fled to the deep forest where it can hide, undisturbed. Digitally altered image transferred and sealed into wax.

Photo-encaustics are a perfect fusion of my photography and quest for a singular work of art. Each piece is unique and can never be recreated.

Photo-encaustics feature a real photograph which is transferred and fused into layers of wax on a thick wood surface using a blow torch.  The effect is a ghostly, antique feel.

Encaustics are extremely archival, and will preserve an image as long as the work is care for properly.  The subtle changes in the layers of wax over a piece, the bubble holes, and overall aesthetic lend to its unique, eternal feel.

On these thicker pieces, I have infused wax around the entire edge of the piece as well.

1 -- 11x14 deep cradle encaustic artwork. Framed with a gold frame, ready to hang. Signed.
