    Encaustic Photography

    “The experience of painting over my photographs is very tactile and physical; it brings me deep into the image where I can explore every detail. With the fluid and sculptural attributes of the wax medium, I'm able to elevate the visceral properties of the photograph by building up, melting down, dry brushing and smoothing. My photography captures the beauty and emotion of the land, seasons and atmospheres. Encaustics helps seal in the intrinsic qualities of an image and elevates the piece to a state of timelessness.”The encaustic process is ever on my mind while collecting these photographs. How will the wax be applied, how thick is an area of the photo going to be, will I carve this scape of grass or this fence, should this sky be smooth or textured? With each photograph taken, I'm planning ahead to the next in- studio step of encaustic application. With the fluid and sculptural qualities of the wax medium I'm able to elevate the visceral qualities of the image through scraping, carving, building up, melting down, dry brushing and smoothing. The experience of painting over my photographs is very tactile and physical and brings me deep into every image in exploration of every detail.
