Clark’s Island VIII — Second Place
“The wax medium and the technique of adding molten pigment to surface is well-conceived in this piece. Applying hot wax that is both fluid and malleable can be complicated, though done well, the dimensional and sculptural quality of an encaustic can be quite vibrant. Hilary has used several implements to fashion varied textures throughout her formal abstracted reflection of a horizon, and the ingenuity of adding courses of thin string, some metallic, across the picture plane enhances the surface tension and creates yet another layer to this richly colored and textured work.”
