Held in Motion – Original Encaustic Monotype on Handmade Asian Paper

Description
Held in Motion is an original encaustic monotype created on handmade Asian paper. Interwoven black and white lines form a shifting internal structure, while surrounding layers of deep burgundy and carbon tones press inward and recede.

The image emerges through physical movement—compression, transfer, and repeated mark-making—allowing form to develop through tension and release. The work balances density and openness, with rhythm and interruption guiding the composition rather than fixed imagery.

This piece invites sustained looking, revealing subtle variations in texture, pressure, and direction that shift with distance and light.
