Convergent Boundaries encaustic , ( Sculpture and Thin section ) Sculpture : 14.25 x 8 x 7 inches , Thin Section : 20 x 96 inches , 2013
In more recent experiments , I have been pairing the sculptures and prints in an attempt to bring together a sense of substance and scale , shifting my point of reference from textbook diagrams of cutaways of the earth to panoramic views of exposed rock . When working on Convergent Boundaries , I was thinking about famous natural tourism sites like the Devil ’ s Causeway and the Grand Canyon ; mesmerizing places that incite both a 2 and 3-D response . My intention is not a literal interpretation of an actual place , but rather a sensory one . It is about the physical , emotional and haptic responses to being in a topsy-turvy place where time is seemingly at a standstill , yet you can sense the earth shifting under your feet .
