Stacks

“The idea for these photoencaustic paintings began as I witnessed the mounting stacks of pages at EBS Press in Verona, where my Radius book 108 was being printed. Horizontal marks continued to shift with the addition of new pages and imperfect stacking. Shades of black and white flowed downward on edges of papers that later were trimmed, cut and bound.” — Catherine Eaton Skinner

Stacks is a new group of work in the Accumulations series, exploring the possibilities of the horizontal line:

• Landscapes of the boundary between sky and ocean

• Distant perspectives of desert and open land

• Layers of water frozen into ice

• Strata of earth walls with subtle seeps of mineral laden watermarks

• Ombre shading and the natural variation of wool color in indigenous textiles

• Seismic wave lengths and the tracking of heart rhythms

100% rag paper mounted on wood panel, encaustic wax, and oil stick.
