Jane Nodine – Artist Statement
Having worked in a variety of materials and styles during my career, I tend to make creative decisions based on the process that will render the best results for my ideas. In recent years my primary research has involved computer manipulation of digital imagery and techniques for merging traditional photography and drawing with new forms of imaging and print technology. In 2006 I began developing a body of work using the materials and processes of encaustic that is derived from the Greek enkaustikos, which means to heat or to burn. The medium consists of beeswax melted with a resin to impart hardness with which I imbed various marks, materials and images, including traces of iron oxidation, digitally created images, and oil or encaustic pigment. I often describe my approach to making art as a process of excavation where visual and conceptual clues reveal ideas and images that emerge in both anticipated and unexpected ways, but where destination is never the same twice. There is no map, no definitive ending or preconceived plan of travel, only a sense that something waits to be revealed.
