This original art piece uses my photograph of a treasure trove of mismatched antique silverware, and a found crow feather. Shiny + natural, manufactured + organic, timeworn + new. It is embellished with oil pigments, and layers of wax encaustic medium. Edges of the piece are in black oil paint and feature drips from the hot beeswax medium, which adds to the tactile nature of the finished piece.
The encaustic wax encases the images, and each new layer lets the layers below show through. Encaustic pieces offer a wonderful depth, texture, and tactile nature for the viewer to enjoy.
On cradled birch board, signed, ready for hanging. 5 inches x 7 inches.
