The ‘TERRA’ Series

Carved wooden panel, torched, with encaustic wax, plaster, acrylic paint, iron oxide. Aerial views above the planet.  Fictional land masses become islands.  Sculpted by flooding water.  Threatened by erosion and super storms, in rapid climate change.  

Artwork Series

The ‘ASHLAND’ Series

These are photographs with encaustic wax paired with carved and torched wood. Aerial views of desert terrain, abstract, geometric, and monotone.  Randomly cultivated landscape – marks on the planet surface.  Followed by destruction, poison, and depletion – charring the jeweled veneer.

Artwork Series

The ‘FOREST LANDSCAPE’ Series

These are carved wooden panels, torched, with encaustic wax inlay. Twilight in the woods.  Sky and sunlight vanishing, horizontal rays through the dense woodland.  Day creatures settle, as the nocturnal emerge.  Silhouettes diminish on the horizon as daylight fades, gracefully welcoming the luminescent moon through drifting clouds.
