Client: Private client

Overview

Surfer photographs embellished with encaustic wax form a grid. The four pieces measuring 32″x32″ are photographed with Polaroid cameras. They are then scanned, printed and mounted on birch wood. Encaustic wax is applied with a brush and then worked with a palette knife and heat gun to create texture which mimics the water. The pieces are then polished numerous times which results in a luminous surface. Arranged together they tell their stories of passion and dreams.

Goals
