Beach Smoke

Beach Smoke combines encaustic-embedded photograph of a beach, the outlines of Split and Ibyuk pingos on the distant horizon, with a print of the coastal chart identifying them by name. Laser-cut lines of an Inuvialuit frame are emphasized by removing the photo and map within those lines to reveal the underlying yellow cedar panel.

Materials: Yellow cedar, scanned map printed on rice paper, encaustic, laser-cut
Dimensions: 7 7/8″ x 47.25″
