Belonging II | 60” x 60” | mixed media on baltic birch with gold + silver leaf
The nest has been in my work since my encaustic days in my Chattanooga studio (circa 2003). Lately, my nests have grown into their own universes : spaces of nourishment and safety. Places I've needed for myself and have yearned to create for others.
One of my favorite layers in each nest is the gold + silver leaf which are woven through and that come to life with the changing light of a nearby window.
