Artist Statement

 Anne Feller’s art is an examination of memory. The act of remembering and the involuntary manifestation of forgetting appear side by side in her work. Feller’s primary medium is encaustic paint, as the material offers a uniquely resilient durability. In the unchanging space of the wax, each piece contains layered, drawn moments. Once embedded, the viewer is offered a chance to peer through these layers of history; like fossils trapped in sediment, the act of preservation within each piece becomes a moment of permanence in a world of impermanence. This is reflective of her own concerns about memory, time, and ultimately, the mortality of the people, the moment, and the memory depicted.
