Encaustic on greenhouse grade glass (diptych)
34” h x 48” w, 2016

By painting on large glass panels this work balances Eastern with Western values of permanence, grandeur, symmetry, and perfection.  This piece exhibits a magnificent harmony between Eastern and Western aesthetics.  Wabi Sabi’s imperfect aesthetic sensibility finds beauty with impermanent natural, organic forms.  The innovation here is a holistic combination of both of aesthetics, capturing the flow of nature’s organic dynamism using a medley of media.
 
Attempting to contrast, not only between organic and geometrical shapes, but also with smooth and rough texture, as well as dull and shiny reflective surfaces. The idea that something is there, may cause you to look for it and perhaps to create it, realize it.  It just so happened 
that many of the Transatlantic slave routes overlapped with the climatological tracks of late-season Atlantic hurricanes. Aha!    - Carolyn Goodridge
