Chanson de Cunegonde
One in a series of collages reflecting on my family history. The name Cunegonde was plucked from way back in my family tree — so old-fashioned and other-worldly. Mixed media encaustic on stretched canvas © Liz Ruest 2008
Chanson de Philipotte
One in a series of collages reflecting on my family history. The name Philipotte comes from very far back in my family tree — it trips nicely off the tongue. Mixed media encaustic on stretched canvas. 8″ x 10″ x 3/4″ deep. $125 © 2008 Liz Ruest
Chanson de Malvina
One in a series of collages reflecting on my family history. The name Malvina is from my maternal grandmother’s side. Mixed media encaustic on stretched canvas © Liz Ruest 2008
Chanson Mediocre
One in a series of collages reflecting on my family history. Like families do, it is layered over, and echoes, a previous piece, Mediocre. Mixed media encaustic on stretched canvas. 8″ x 10″ x 3/4″ deep. $125 © 2008 Liz Ruest
Chanson Essentielle
One in a series of collages reflecting on my family history. Like families do, it is layered over, and echoes, a previous piece, Essentielle. Mixed media encaustic on stretched canvas © Liz Ruest 2008
