Vertical Composition No. 1, Encaustic Monotype on Handmade Asian Paper

Vertical Composition No. 1

55 × 13.5 inches

This original vertical scroll is an encaustic monotype created on handmade Asian paper. The composition unfolds vertically, emphasizing balance, interruption, and rhythm through layered mark-making, line, and subtle color shifts.

Working in a tall, scroll format allows the imagery to breathe and move—inviting the eye to travel slowly from top to bottom. The surface holds evidence of process: printed wax, drawn line, and translucent passages that reveal the paper’s natural character.

This piece can be displayed as a scroll or framed, depending on how you choose to live with the work.
