For all of my complaining about added wax in/on food, it does have its place.  You know I don’t need my fruit and veggies to be pretty, but a lightly waxed apple from my local orchard will keep in cold storage or root cellar for months on end.  And have you spied the new beeswax food wrap?  It is meant as a replacement for plastic wrap.  You can even make your own.  Cool.  This next Call is also an excellent use of wax.  Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Alicia Tormey

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

testing BOUNDARIES

In addition to being the Editor of AAAD, I spend a considerable amount of time consulting with artists individually on branding their work, unifying their message & the philosophical packaging of their work for consumption.  Technology is vehicle that allows delivery of work that is complete in contrast with that very technology.  I appreciate the push to expand my knowledge, to remain relevant, to drag a few artists wit me. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Alicia Tormey finds her own motivation in testing boundaries. (continues below)

“Galaxy” (left) & “Swoon” (right) by Alicia Tormey, encaustic mixed media

“An insatiable curiosity drives me to constantly experiment while testing the boundaries of this medium. The mystery of not knowing what’s going to happen next has the power to hold my attention for long stretches of time. The unpredictable nature of encaustic and the open flame of a torch captivates me and pulls me along for a never ending ride.” —Alicia Tormey

I am not typically a food peeler.  With the obvious exception of bananas, oranges and pineapple (and a few others), I don’t often peel fruits or vegetables–from cucumbers to potatoes, apples to tomatoes.  That’s why I eat nectarines not peaches–no fuzz.  And I long for the days before fruits showed up in our grocery stores covered in shiny coats of wax.  This next call from the IEA is a far better use for wax than my apples.
