Encaustic and Fabric on Canvas - 60'“ x 120”
“Wave Worn” encapsulates the enchanting hues of seaglass, worn smooth by the passage of time, as if an entire layer of this colorful glass is embodied within a graceful wave. This transformation elegantly turns the inherent hardness of glass into a gentle expression of softness and delicacy, inviting viewers to engage with the beauty of the ocean in a fresh, profound way.
The undulating waves depicted in this piece mimic the natural movement of water, facilitating a sensory exploration of the rhythmic ebb and flow of the tides. Subtle transitions between hues reflect the ever-changing colors of the sea, enriching the sense of movement and vitality throughout the composition.
Each shift in tone serves as a nuanced reflection of seaglass, prompting contemplation of our deep and intricate connections with nature. The dynamic interplay of light and shadows creates moments of translucency and opacity, shifting in response to the viewers’ changing perspectives, further enhancing the artwork’s liveliness.
As a reflective homage to the calming power of the ocean, “Wave Worn” stands as a poignant reminder of the restorative qualities inherent in the sea. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in a peaceful embrace, offering solace within the flowing beauty of water and the artistry of nature, ultimately evoking a profound sense of tranquility and an intimate connection to the natural world.
