IEA Member Artist Profile
Phyllis Lasche
Phyllis Lasche is a signature member of International Encaustic Artists and a founding member of CC14. She works in a wide
variety of media, mixing paint, chalk, photographic film, cheesecloth, wax, whatever in order to translate an idea into a
visual statement about the process of living.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My approach to art-making is rooted in curiosity and alchemy. I like to test materials in new ways, letting them work their
magic with a minimum of interference - mixing paint, chalk, photographic film, cheesecloth, wax, the objects that surround me
in my rural home - in order to make a visual statement about the process of living. Experimentation often leaves a lot of
detritus and only a little "product", but is evidence of the messiness of trying to figure things out as I muddle along in
art-making and in life. Illusion is not my goal, but rather an honest revealing of the process and the beauty of the materials.
It is the transient nature of being alive and a sense that authentic engagement in life is tied to the ongoing effort to pull
order and beauty out of chaos - these are the ideas that drive my art-making today.
