The work of Lori Field is GORGEOUS. It's encaustic/mixed media that is ... really really good. The medium is color pencil drawings (NOT just like, printed, appropriated images) cut out and embedded within encaustic paintings. It's filled with kids & women, animals, flowers, decorative elements and symbols all mashed up together in a beautiful, multi-layered, surreal floating world which manages to feel positive yet dark at the same time. That description was kind of lame. Here are her own words, which sum it up much better: "...By depicting seductive creatures in psychedelic settings, I suggest a place that seems as yet untouched by the human species, but which evokes a flawed, human fragility nonetheless..."
I may get to see some 'for real' in a couple weeks when I go to LA, which I'm very excited about since if it looks this cool on the computer, imagine how it'll look with my very own eyeballs!
