Encaustic Works: Paintings in Molten Wax
An exhibition of paintings by artist Ariela Steif in the medium of encaustic -- an ancient technique of pigmented wax that is applied molten and then reheated to fuse every layer to the one beneath it. Encaustic has the ability to take on extreme transparency, which allows the simultaneous revealing and concealing of layers. This series, situated in the charged and unstable space between representation and abstraction, gathers fragments of dreams and memories that are layered together, and negotiates the ever-changing boundary between isolation and community.
