Laura Moriarty, my workshop instructor from last week, uses wax to create geological interpretations of earth, life, and death and their non-existence; maybe the encaustic medium is meant to be tied to the earth.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-26942840359184683852012-08-06T19:53:44.231-04:002012-08-06T19:53:44.231-04:00These remind me of looking out the window of a sma...These remind me of looking out the window of a small, low-flying plane--makes me want to "find" the houses, ponds and roads in these works.

I think there is no wrong way to interpret them and find what you've written to be very stimulating. I am anxious to continue studying this abstract technique but have to wait for new panels to arrive... hopefully some time this week.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-64927838842352679102012-08-06T12:28:57.903-04:002012-08-06T12:28:57.903-04:00These are really engaging.

But I've also been reading a lot about how the brain experiences the data we feed it. There aren't any landscapes in your head--just electro-magnetic impulses, chemistry and so forth running along nerves and such. These look like a perfect expression of this. One active the other at rest. It's also very cool how you mention the wax medium influencing the "landscape within". My apologies if none of this fits, but I couldn't resist.William Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286221149980028093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-57359501151188050042012-08-05T20:30:12.037-04:002012-08-05T20:30:12.037-04:00Thanks, Pam!Thanks, Pam!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-36167638404514482432012-08-05T20:26:20.796-04:002012-08-05T20:26:20.796-04:00I have always loved abstract art.

I think it is hard for some people to see the 'work' in abstract simply because it can appear random.<br /><br />But a well done abstract piece- like those YOU do- are full of beauty and spark a core emotional resonance (in me). I ooh and ah and feel it. Keep doing it woman!Pam Hugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03886722152972554968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-65590742469172001792012-08-04T11:44:26.041-04:002012-08-04T11:44:26.041-04:00I do think we women get better/wiser/more mature w...I do think we women get better/wiser/more mature with age, padmaja :)<br /><br />Sherry, I am intrigued with a new understanding in the abstract approach to expressing a non-abstract idea, and I will definitely make this new understanding work for me. These new abstracts were mostly about discovering what the wax medium will allow me to do with it, then adjusted to find the landscape within.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-50646523650170521422012-08-04T07:48:49.089-04:002012-08-04T07:48:49.089-04:00I'm with you on the abstract art thing...but a...I'm with you on the abstract art thing...but am still not drawn to it in the slightest.

The 2 pieces seem like they were meant to be, there is so much of intuitive patterns that relate to each other very well, beautiful Robin!padmajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297562916603110230noreply@blogger.com
