Ephemeral/Ephemera 2023 IEA Juried Exhibition in Mulranny, Ireland In conjunction with Celtic ConVergence, International Encaustic Artists (IEA) and Mulranny Arts co-hosted Ephemeral/Ephemera, an exhibition of small encaustic and cold wax works on paper. Each piece t within the dimensions of a standard shipping envelope. As stated by juror, Michele Randall, “These parameters suggest objects that may be fragile and temporary. However, the artists have produced works that are weighted with the universal emotions of pleasure, longing, and grief. The properties of wax, historically used as a preservative or balm, infuse the paper with strength, while obscuring images with a hazy bloom.”
