Encaustic and rust monotypes

Here’s some more new experiments with rust, wax, tea and ink. I’m enjoying not feeling constrained by paper size and shape. Whether these eventually end up as mounted and framed work is beside the point. I’m learning more about the way these materials behave with every mark I make.

Some three dimensional forms.

I’ve been playing with making some small three dimensional forms. This first one is quite organic.

While this one is rather more colourful.

About one third of my tiles coated with encaustic medium, a blank canvas for an image.

A taste of a modular work, unfinished. Polymer intaglio print, monotype, encaustic medium. How to develop this further?

Work in progress.

This is printed on10 tiles, each 100 x100mm. the tiles can be arranged any way you want, as above, or like this.
