Encapsulating Symmetry: Using the encaustic medium, this series of painted patterns and origami shapes began in 2015. In these works, origami imagery is infused with fabric-styled patterns. The series is mimicking impermanent substrates (paper and fabric) through the use of oil paint, enamel paint, and encaustic mediums; materials with substantive lasting qualities. By recreating shapes typically made from degradable material, I am able to create works of art that are just as whimsical as the original designs but in permanent form.
