Joanne Ungar began employing waxes as her main collage agent in the 1990’s, after exploring and working with shellac, resins and acrylic mediums. Since then, waxes and encaustic have been her main medium. Her wax “recipe” is a work-in-progress: she is often tinkering with it to get the desired lucidity and luminosity for whatever she happens to be burying or revealing in her layers of wax.
