Encaustic. molten wax &  resin

The word encaustic is of Greek origin and means to
burn in." It refers to the process of fusing  the organic wax and resin medium into itself by the application of heat.  This versatile ancient artistic medium lends itself to  mysterious  translucent textures and expressions.

Unlike traditional painting mediums, Encaustic can be layered with either transparent or opaque effects. It can be carved, incised, or used in collage for a range of tactile sculptural surfaces.

Encaustic evokes wonder.
