March Breakthrough
Triptych: three 12” x 36”
Encaustic, collage map and shellac burn on wood panels
In the spring, we finally awake to the reality of the dimetric extremes of our inside spaces. Our homes provide comfort and, paradoxically, restriction. The change of seasons from winter to spring in the pandemic world has brought this to the very forefront of my attention unlike any other year.
We find freedom in outdoor spaces as we emerge from our winter hibernation. The sky, the sea, and the land seem to play by different rules. They ignore our human boundaries and invite us to expand our lungs, and I would argue, break the confines of our winter minds.
March Breakthrough is about this expansion of our outside space as it pushes on us to move beyond our boxes. This special piece is a triptych—three panels working together to tell this story. I came across this old map in one of my favorite antique malls in Seattle—a huge warehouse with treasures in every corner. The map of our neighbors to the north has stark lines and grid features that work in contrast to the natural flow of encaustic and shellac.
