Constellation of Thought

Encaustic Mixed-Media 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 1/8 inches Published in the Candian Encaustic Conference Waxing Poetic Exhibition Catalogue 2024 Artist Statement: For me, the writer Michaela Chung, summed up my feelings as I worked through this piece: 'For quiet, sensitive souls, solitude is the golden thread that unites us with our inner world .. We need quiet to connect the dots in our constellations of thought. Convention is my poison. Let me bloom in my own world of possibility.' This was the poem that accompanied my piece in the exhibition catalogue: The Wanderer What is she like? I was told- she is a melancholy soul. She is like the sun to night; a momentary gold. A star when dimmed by dawning light; the flicker of a candle blown. A lonely kite lost in flight- someone once had flown. — Lang Leav
