Below the Ridgeline — Encaustic Monotype on Handmade Asian Paper

Below the Ridgeline is an original encaustic monotype created on handmade Asian paper. Layered forms sweep across the surface, suggesting terrain shaped by pressure, time, and movement. Undulating lines carve through the composition, guiding the eye along folds of land that feel both expansive and intimate.

Created using encaustic monotype techniques, this work captures the immediacy of molten wax transferred to paper, preserving texture, gesture, and subtle shifts in tone. The interplay between dense linear passages and softer atmospheric areas evokes a sense of elevation and passage, inviting sustained, contemplative viewing.

This piece pairs naturally with Between Ridge and Cloud and functions beautifully as a standalone work or as part of a small landscape-inspired grouping.
