Transitional Object #2 is created with encaustic wax and oil paint, layered on canvas. There is some textural dimension on the surface of the canvas where the long boat-like shape has been carved out and painted by the artist.

The canvas is wrapped around a sturdy pine stretcher. It was completed in 2016, and is signed by the artist on the back. The piece hangs from two d-rings that are evenly mounted on the back of the stretcher.
