Photo Details
Poster: encaustic collection  (see this users gallery)

many types of paper have some sort of coating which helps limit absorption of whatever is put on them. by crushing the paper this can be damaged, forming a rough "crackled" look. When the wax is ironed over this, using the iron's edge to bulldoze the colours along, then the damaged creases absorb more colour than the still coated areas, creating an interesting contrast.


this image was created from three pieces of crushed paper which were then torn to shape and glued into a collage.
