Step into the world of this small semi-nude, "Renewed Spirit", which is an encaustic (wax and pigment) with the additional element of a carved stone double fish sewn into the piece.
As you become more familiar with my work, you will notice that stitching and carved elements are not uncommon additions to my surfaces. There is a strong love for the sewn or stitched element, sometimes it is real and somtimes it is a drawn illusion.
The exposed painting through the mat measures 10 1/2" x 8 1/2" and is on archival, hand dyed paper. The mat measures 3 3/4" top and sides and the bottom mat measures 4 1/4". The bottom mat should be larger for visual weight.
The matting is composed of truffle linen with an inside mat of cool gray and inside (next to the art image) is soft gold bevel board approximately 1/4" thick. This matting allows the picture to set deeply into the frame and under the glass adding to the drama of the figure.
The frame is great with the piece in that it has a repetitious scalloped edge which may give some the feeling of scales, and carry you back to the fish carving which is a symbol of renewal and/or rebirth.
The frame measures a front profile of 3". It is difficult to give an exact projection on this frame. The initial projection is 1/2" from the wall but slopes beautifully upward as it approaches the mat allowing for a deep frame rabbet. The overall frame size measures 24 1/4" x 21 3/4" .If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer all inqu [
