Enveloped II , encaustic on panel , 8 x 8 inches , 2014
If we think about the box itself , it is something we put things in . It is used to separate , to compartmentalize , to create boundaries . We do that with objects . But if we think about the psyche , we do that with feelings , thoughts and memories too . So I had to think with my work , was I putting myself in a box ? Was I separating myself , and why ?
