These beautiful encaustic rubbings are handmade from the artist's handcarved "Mural Study" of the Promise Land Tree
They are created on Korean Kozo paper made from the bark of the Mulberry tree, an extremely arduous hand made paper known to last over 800 years so far. The paper is then hand stretched over the "STUDY".
Before it is completely dry, it is hand pressed into the proud carved tree.
Encaustic wax painting has been in existence for over 3000 years first started by the Egyptians for mummy portrait paintings, and have not shown deterioration even today..
Once finished, the encaustic waxes are then burnished into the paper (Korean Kozo or Hanji paper) by hand for a permanent fix. You cannot rub the wax off the acid free and extremely durable paper.
These rubbings once museum quality matted and framed, will last for many generations, they will be handed down creating lasting conversation in any room for the next seven generations and beyond.
They are one of a kind, made one at a time, no two exactly alike even in the same color.
