Allyson Levy - Artist Statement My current body of work deals with the properties of found organic materials at various times of the year and the processes those materials undergo through nature's transitions (decomposition, sunlight, wind, and insects, etc.). By combining natural materials with wax I attempt to try to capture human interaction with nature. I hope that my treatment of these organic materials with various techniques of encaustic painting will convey the feeling of particular moments of time and how they effect human emotions. After relocating to rural upstate N.Y., I became keenly aware that the natural environment that surrounded me is never static, but constantly in a state of change. It struck me that I had never noticed the seed keys of a maple tree, or the minute differences in the shape of an ash seed, the swelling of forsythia buds. Resume Education
