About this artwork
"The world will never starve for want of wonders, but for want of wonder," artist Shannon Amidon quotes the English writer, G. K. Chesterton. Moths, ferns, and asemic writing with a metallic gold vignette build this compelling encaustic painting. Shannon added embellishments of 23k gold leaf, mica flakes, and metal beads. The background was created using a variety of vintage ephemeral materials including old book pages, maps, and letters. "This mixed media painting is filled with layers and secrets that beg the viewer to look longer."
