10 x 10 x 1.5 inches, encaustic on cradled wood panel
A landscape of emotional temperature, Cool Me Down contrasts scorching earth tones with the relief of a cooling sky. The textured encaustic surface creates a sensual balance between tension and release, dryness and moisture, fire and breeze.
The lower part bursts with rusty reds, ochres, and touches of green — evoking wild terrain, dried blooms, or burning ground. Above it, a soft, pale blue field descends like a breath of air, calming and absorbing heat. The boundary between them is alive with energy: not a line, but a mingling of elements.
This work speaks to the body and its need for restoration — physical, emotional, elemental.
