Looking Over the Edge Ursi Lysser In today's throwaway society, I intentionally create new works using old, unloved, discarded materials and give them a fresh voice. I want to encourage viewers to look at my paintings and infuse them with their own stories. I want them to immerse themselves in my works and nd identi cation. Childhood memories resurface; yes, my grandmother was a seamstress, I remember—Fond memories!!! I love to create busts using a variety of materials such as plaster bandages, clay, old mannequins, palm bark, burlap, wall plaster, and antik paper. All of these materials pair well with encaustic materials and techniques.
