Waking in a Dream Print

Encaustic (wax) on Wood in a plain wood frame. As though in a dream, a multi-colored figure seems poised to arise in the darkness. Without defining lines or shadows, it also has no gender or nationality. Above it, birds float in the dark sky. I chose a frigate bird, both for it's red pouch and for it's symbolism. These birds are venerated by seafarers for their abilities to fly long distances without landing, to find their way home and to show sailors the direction of land. These strange birds live by catching fish, but they have no oil on their feathers and can't land on the water like other water birds. They are sometimes considered to be good omens. The relationship of the birds to the figure seems to suggest two directions of movement - up and forward. Therefore the word "avanza" (get moving) is inscribed into the dark sky.
