Pathways

I'm still experimenting with encaustic and collage. It is an entirely frustrating process for me, but I'm really liking the interesting connections I am making. This piece is a reflection on information and identity, and on past and present influences. The binary in the keyhole simply says I, as in Me, Myself and I.

Sketches in Encaustic

I'm new to encaustic. Below are some of my experiments. While working, I have been reflecting on memory and connections. Most have incorporated pieces of my past or bits of my present or both into the work. I feel like I am starting to develop a bit of a vocabulary. The work will be on display at Gimme Coffee on State Street, here in Ithaca, for the month of May.

Psychology and Ordinary People

Over the years, I have loved to just sit down and let my imagination find a person on a page. Most of the time I am delighted by who I meet. Recently, I have begun finding people again on the pages of an old social psychology book I picked up a few years ago. My goal is one per day. All will be auctioned on Ebay. Perhaps I will try to publish a book with all of these characters. A book within a book might be fun.
