2009, Wax and oil on canvas on board, 20"w x 24"h

I have been interrogating painting by constructing, disassembling and reassembling. Register is the result of exposing both the interior and exterior of a painted surface. This is possible through the use of the encaustic process, which utilizes melted wax and pigments. The paint is applied, it cools, is scraped off and then reconfigured on the canvas. The result: fragility, fracture, resilience, healing, beauty, the rational and the irrational.
