This vase had a life before it came into my studio. I gave it a second one with layers of ivory encaustic wax, a resin-lined interior and a little company in the form of bees. Turn it slowly and you’ll see them come into view one by one, as if they’re making their way around the vase.
At 29 cm tall, Bee Vase adds height to a shelf or sideboard without taking up much room. The ivory finish sits beautifully alongside timber and linen, and the amber-and-black bees draw you in for a closer look. It’s a one-of-a-kind piece for anyone who loves collecting original art or bringing a little of the garden indoors.
Artist · Karen Canning, Studio fifty three, Toowoomba, Queensland
Size · 12 × 29 cm
Materials · Repurposed vessel with an encaustic wax exterior and resin-lined interior
Style · Contemporary, nature-inspired mixed media with figurative bee imagery
Display · A decorative sculptural piece to display on its own or with dried stems
Encaustic painting is an ancient art form that uses natural beeswax mixed with damar resin (a tree sap) and pigments to create beautifully layered, luminous artworks. Each layer of wax is painted on while warm and then fused with heat, giving the surface a gorgeous depth and a soft, tactile quality you can’t get with other mediums. Every piece is unique, with textures and details that shift and change as the light catches them.
Display your vase indoors, away from direct sunlight, heaters and extreme heat. Dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Over time, you may notice a soft, natural sheen on the wax surface.
I’m delighted to send my artwork to collectors around the world. Shipping costs vary by destination and by the size and weight of the packed artwork. Get in touch with your country and postcode and I’ll find a reliable shipping option and give you a personalised quote.
