About the Artist: Christine Moore

This project is based on amazing landscapes which I have encountered over the years, living in Tasmania and Switzerland and travelling to many places around the world. It examines the effects of time and space on our emotions and memory and how the artist can recreate events through partly imagined places. We tend to think of landscapes in terms of space, yet time – the time of day, the season, the particular point we are at in our lives – all greatly influence our perception of place. These paintings involve connections to the past, present and future, taking viewers into their own imaginative, evocative spaces.

When I started encaustic painting, I followed the basic rules of how the encaustic technique works. However, I found this technique so liberating that, very soon, I began to experiment and to include other techniques such as collage, embedding, and stamping.

Since I also love acrylics and mixed media, I inevitably took the next step: using these techniques to create the impression and effect of melted wax. In my work, bright, vivid and surprising colour mixes are always part of the alchemy. Although I like to experiment with different subjects, mountains and seascapes remain amongst my favourites, always with an abstract touch. Melting Moments are just that: unique moments of space and time frozen in the melted, then cooled wax - new worlds rising as real and imaginary 'space-time' landscapes.
