Christine Sajecki is an artist practicing in Baltimore, Maryland. She mostly works in encaustic- a malleable and sculptural paint made of beeswax, pigment, damar resin, and other materials harvested from her environment. She works the surfaces with brushes, torches, gouges and blades. Sajecki brings this excavation and accretion of surface to other media and drawings through her process. Her work has been shown and collected across the United States and Europe, as well as published alongside poetry, fiction, and non-fiction.

My photographic constructions reference the natural world in an effort to consider the transitory essence of being, and to confront my own sense of existential dread. I find comfort in the ephemeral cycle of Nature, and hope to convey tranquility and solitude through these compositions.
