Join us for the 2026 Spring Contemporary Currents Exhibition Stratum: A Layered Perspective of South Florida, featuring Deering Estate’s 2025–2026 Artist in Residence Andrea Clement and her encaustic paintings that capture the complexities of South Florida’s geological and hydrological landscape. A longtime practitioner of encaustic art, Clement uses heated beeswax, pigments, and damar resin to create vibrant abstract works shaped by her exploration of the earth’s structure, its history, and the forces that drive its evolution. Her paintings examine geological processes through the lens of hydrology, the movement, quantity, and management of water, and draw inspiration from Deering Estate’s Biscayne Bay shoreline and ongoing restoration efforts such as the Cutler Slough Restoration Project and the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. Through observing geology’s physical structures, materials, and active processes, she translates oolite formations, fossils, erosion, infiltration, evapotranspiration, plate tectonics, geologic time, and sedimentation into dynamic layered abstractions. By carving, refining, and building pigmented beeswax, Clement creates richly textured paintings that illuminate the relationship between South Florida’s waters and its oolitic limestone foundation. At the heart of these geological processes and Clement’s approach is stratum, the act of layering, reflecting the very nature of encaustic painting and the intricate layers that shape South Florida’s history and environment.
