Kelowna artist uses centuries-old technique to explore today’s challenges

Artists Angela Hansen is creating a new exhibit using the ancient encaustic technique, which involves heated beeswax and tree sap. Inspired by climate-related issues, her work explores topics such as water quality, extreme weather, and biodiversity loss. The exhibit includes five sculptures, one representing the impact of data AI centers on water quality. Hansen, who has lived in the Okanagan for over two decades, cites personal experiences and conversations with her son as major inspirations. Her choice of medium is motivated by sustainability, as it avoids harsh chemicals and allows for reuse of materials. The exhibit, supported by the City of Kelowna through an Artist in Residence program, aims to engage viewers with thought-provoking art that connects with personal experiences of environmental change.
