Dementia

Encaustic and shellac on birch panel       24" x 24"   $600

Dementia is a thief in the night, the worst identity thief that there is. Dementia takes all that is dear, spouse, children, family and friends. It takes the memories of who we were, and the things that we have done. The rot that overtakes and destroys memory is depicted in this image by metal from a 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood hearse.
Gold and Ivory black pigmented shellac as well as purple, criss cross this image; this image is also what a coroner finds during the autopsy of an Alzheimer's victim.
