I am printing with beeswax and I find myself hunting down the beauty of accidents and entropy. The pigmented beeswax is melted on a hot aluminum plate and manipulated. The print is hand rubbed with a Japanese burin and then carefully pulled. One print is made of multiple unique printing processes and printed on both sides of the paper. The printing process is challenging, because the wax continues to melt on the plate while printing. The paper gets translucent and saturated with the pigmented wax. The colors are uniquely brilliant and luminous and metal pigments sit as an embellishment on top of the paper. I print in wax, because the painting process embodies vulnerability and failure. I leap and fail, but when I succeed I transcend tragedy and witness the genesis of grace and the ephemeral.
