Rusty old found objects on a chipped paint background and layers of melted beeswax make up this original art collage. A wonderful texture and patina are found in both the old rusty surfaces and the background. Colors are grey, blue, rust, brown, black - lovely! Metal wire and vintage hardware are other components. Midnight blue oil pigment adorns the sides of the piece, along with 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 of paper below show through. Every piece incorporating vintage items tells a story with little found objects like keys and hardware, well loved over time. Encaustic collage pieces offer a wonderful depth, texture, and tactile nature for the viewer to enjoy.
On 6 x 6 cradled birch board, signed and ready for hanging.
