Wade Asa

My work exists in the subterranean spaces between memory, dreams, and imagination. There is an architecture that connects these territories–a collective subconscious of creativity, which I explore by way of symbolism and mythology. Following this process, I often find both personal and universal meaning and resonance in a finished piece begun with simple inspiration, unrestrained by elaborate intention.

Though a multidisciplinary artist, I have been working primarily with Encaustic since 2016, and love finding new ways to push the medium using painting, printmaking, and sculptural techniques. I am currently based in the mountains of Asheville, NC.
