This is a beeswax collage on canvas made from my photograph "you are my songbird." The photo is of a work of stencil street art -- beautiful graffiti on a city wall.
The photograph is affixed to and covered with layers of beeswax. The beeswax is the "clear" as opposed to the yellow-toned sort, and adds a soft, dreamy texture to the image. Click on the the detail photo to enlarge it and see how the beeswax adds a subtle yet pleasing effect to the image and the canvas.
Media: photograph and beeswax on canvas.
Size: 5 x 5 x 1.5 inches.
This collage is on a gallery profile stretched canvas, 1.5" deep: heavy duty canvas, staple-free edges, tailored corners. No need to frame this piece -- the sides and back are painted with beeswax as well and it is ready for hanging; it even stands by itself on a table-top or shelf.
The photo is professionally printed on matte-finish Fuji Crystal Archive paper, that, quoth the lab, "with its 108 year rating ... will last for generations to come." (I also sell this photograph as an open edition print.)
