Janise Yntema

---

Known for her work in encaustic, Yntema subtly develops these compositions through many additive layers of tinted beeswax.  Pigments are suspended within translucent layers, allowing light to become compositionally present; the paintings interact with light,  colors are not static. Within this series of paintings, original photography has been incorporated, bringing a contemporary platform to this ancient technique, obscuring the boundary between photography and painting. Ideals of memory and place, reality and truth are questioned.
