We all hold stories which live inside the recesses of our deepest selves, and carry those from the generations before… “Story Lines”, (7 x 8 x 6 in), embodies this energy.  There is rich material in the lessons in our lives— challenge that brings strength, tenacity, and courage to live fully, beauty and love which open us to connections with others and with ourselves, and layer upon layer of qualities and experiences too vast to enumerate.  This piece honors the vitality that resides within every single one of us.  

This piece was created from a macro photograph of a butterfly wing, layered multiple times with beeswax and damar resin, fused between each layer, surface carved edge to edge, cut and sculpted to shape, colored with powdered pigment, and laboriously stitched together and through the negative space in the wings. It has a lovely glow from the inner that radiates visibly to the outer. “Story Lines” is a pedestal piece.

This sculpture is represented by the Encaustic Art Museum of Santa Fe, NM. Please contact me if interested in this sculpture and I will communicate with the museum, as they are currently in the midst of relocation and reopening, due to the pandemic. Thank you!
