The surface under moving light

This view is built only from real photographs of the work, each lit from a different angle, so you can move the light yourself and watch the real surface answer. It is being captured in the studio and will appear here. Until then we show nothing rather than an imitation.

I worked into the unknown here — green and white wax moving across the panel in branching lines and looping pools, the torch pulling liquid encaustic wherever it chose to settle. Layer over layer, I was noticing where one color meets another, the olive and sage building beneath the raised white — that three-dimensional skin the wax leaves behind when it cools. A field of color, nothing more and nothing less.
