PROCESS
I create my work by first melting a mixture of beeswax , carnauba wax , resin and powder pigment , which I then make all 1 solvent . I apply the wax in layers to the panel , I build it up and carve it with an assortment of tools I created to help guide patterns in the wax . The process is very physical , time consuming and extremely detailed . The result is a minimal , translucent and highly texturized surface that fully engages all of the senses .
