Artist Statement:
For Moment of Stillness I combined a vintage family photograph with my own photograph of rust and peeling paint, this speaks to the slow passing of time. Adding the vivid colour of rust to the black and white image, created a vibrant sunset. Interestingly, the time-worn texture and colour gives the old image a more contemporary feel. Encaustic mixed media techniques enhance the photograph and add texture to the rushing waterfall. The photograph captures a young woman in a calm, thoughtful Moment of Stillness, in contrast with the water that is rushing around her.
