crucible2020

From January through December 2020 I will be transforming (almost*) all the remaining encaustic paintings in my archive (dating from early 1990’s to 2019) into a new body of condensed artworks. 

This process will involve re-melting paintings made of pigmented wax into new sculptural forms. Stretchers will be donated for re-use and the canvas will be transformed into a large-scale work TBD.  Watch this blog and follow @nicolecollinsartist below for future highlights.


Anyone interested in watching the surprisingly engaging process of wax melting, as well as joining in an open and ongoing discussion of mortality, transformation and art is welcome to visit; send a message to info.nicolecollinsart@gmail.com 

All works available for purchase through the studio
