The ‘LOCAL NATURE’ Series
Hand carved wood, torched, with encaustic wax inlay. A study of local wildlife, always a source of wonder and inspiration.
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.
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.
