24x24x.5 Mixed media, Photo encaustic, silver wire, copper wire on board. Artist Freddie Bainbridge 

This evocative encaustic artwork intertwines elements of history, architecture, and abstract expression. At its heart, a photo of intricate interior decoration from Heinz Hall emerges, encapsulating the grandeur and timeless elegance of the space. Surrounding the photo are bold geometric forms—a red circle, blue square, and deep green accents—created with natural pigments, anchoring the piece in abstract symbolism. Flowing silver wire gracefully weaves across the surface, enhancing the composition with a sense of movement and unity, reminiscent of musical notes or decorative flourishes. Layers of wax lend depth and texture, creating an ethereal, dreamlike quality that mirrors the delicate balance between the structural and the spiritual. This piece speaks to the intersection of memory, art, and place, inviting the viewer to explore its intricate narrative.
