CREATE AND MEASURE – Mixed Media Artwork Blending Antique and Modern Elements

Art is a balance between intuition and precision, creativity and calculation—an ever-evolving equation of expression. Create and Measure is a testament to this duality, blending the tangible history of antique ephemera with modern technological fragments.

At its core, a textured canvas unfolds in layers of subtle earth tones, highlighted with crackle finishes, corrugated elements, and carefully blended color washes. Anchoring the lower section, a meticulously placed antique ruler segment marks a boundary, both literal and figurative, against a resin set crackle finish that mirrors its worn, timeworn hues.

Above, an intricate fusion of materials captures the essence of artistic evolution. A resin-preserved dictionary page, suspended by metallic blue finishing nails, creates a delicate yet enduring foundation, layered over rusted wire mesh. Centered within this arrangement, a computer clip firmly clasps a resin-encased flourish print, melding the ornate past with the sleek, mechanical present.

Framing the composition, a deep royal blue wood cradle extends the piece’s visual harmony, drawing attention to the subtle color washes embedded in the background collage. Layers of encaustic wax softly veil historic text, intricate patterns, and found papers, lending a sense of depth and mystery. Nestled within this stratified history, an embedded computer chip rests in the lower right, a quiet reminder of progress woven into tradition.

Create and Measure is both a study in contrast and a celebration of convergence—a tactile journey through time, where the echoes of handcrafted tools and analog memory meet the digital age’s sleek precision.

Special Care for Encaustic Artwork... Encaustic artwork is created with a combination of beeswax (note for those who are allergic) and damar resin.
