Just Swishing Around Print - Limited Edition of 1

This is a limited edition Fine Art Print of an original encaustic monoprint. (Original print is also available) In 2014 I started on a series of monoprints based on spray painted backgrounds onto heavyweight water color paper. The addition of the spray paint to the paper has a unique effect. This work is done on a heated 190F table with the color laid into the heated steel surface where it melts. Paper is then laid into the melted wax which infuses into the paper. The spray paint interferes with that infusion and allows me to work the encaustic with a brayer in this pieces through the back of the paper making the wave like energy and action you see. I use HD encaustic media which is purified beeswax with added Damar resin a hardener that adds high temperature performance and added strength to the wax. The HD media is transparent and to this layers of color one inside the other are added all on the heated steel table surface. The colors float above the steel and the objective is to catch the color and direct the flow and capture it to paper before it all melts. "Just Swishing Around" is another example of my efforts in controlled flow of Encaustic Media and a good example of color and derived energy in a monoprint. Printed to premium HD aluminum with a foam backer it comes ready to hang. Other print options available upon request
