This series began as Encaustic Collagraph prints on paper that are mounted onto panel. A collagraph is a printing plate comprised of collage materials. I print from the texture that you see in my paintings using white wax on plexiglas that I formulate in lieu of collage materials. For several years, I have been merging the techniques of encaustic painting with that of collagraph printmaking. Once the print is mounted for added depth, I merge the two by applying additional layers of clear wax and oil paint over it that mimics the texture in the print under layers. I teach Encaustic Collagraph Printmaking on Zoom as well as at institutions nationally and internationally. The title of the series of four refers to changing orbits. They are about a coming together and a coming apart globally. This series also reflects upon how, over the course of the pandemic, our own orbits of friends and family have grown smaller, closer and in some cases, estranged all together.
