Totums

Totum pro parte is Latin for “the whole for a part”; it refers to a kind of synecdoche. When used in a context of language it means that something is named after something of which it is only a part (or only a limited characteristic, in itself not necessarily representative for the whole)

This piece is shipped ready to hang and framed if desired. I provide a hanging pattern so you can display it as I have shown.

Artist signature and details are hand printed on the back. Caring for this piece is simple dusting. Encaustic does not respond well to extreme fluctuations in temperature – Do not freeze or leave in a hot vehicle.
