Work, Work, Work- featuring new works by Melissa Porter

This new body of work is the result of dedicated time to explore the process of collaging papers into encaustic wax and the repetition necessary to truly understand the medium I'm interested in. I wanted the freedom to choose my subjects based on my intuition and what my subconscious felt was important to express. For me, creating art has always been about listening to the dialogue I have with myself, and recently, that dialogue has been quite intense. I am processing the loss of my mother, the end of an important relationship, and the passing of the family dog, who I had come to regard as my own.
