Human Nature: Rhyll Stafford

On show 27 June to 13 July

Human Nature. The phrase opens up more questions than answers. Discussions with my son as I put this show together have circled around survival, combat and struggle, as well as tenderness, connection and what it means to belong. Encaustics, an ancient Greek/Roman beeswax and tree resin medium, is a wonderful way to work with this theme. Honeycomb, sticks, tree resins, stone, oil paint, photo transfers, pastels, copper, brass and steel all have qualities that add to the narrative.
