Periodic Table
Commissioned piece of the Periodic Table, Shulz Junhans Patent Attorneys, Berlin Germany
Rather than interpret each individual element, I decided to make all of the individual elements visually integrated as one flowing image. While laying out the boards, the small sections reminded me of a honey comb so I created monotype prints that echoed a honey comb and an atomic image which I enlarged on a Xerox machine and collaged to the boards. Then layers of encaustic and graphite were applied to create a rich surface and depth.
