About the Item

FROM A VANISHED GREEN is a multilayer oil, gouache and acrylic painting on paper, with additional use of tyvek and polyester mesh. Through layered silhouettes of hand cut tyvek shapes and Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoide), the composition presents a story behind the plant’s lifecycle. Christmas Fern, here in three different stages, is a perennial evergreen fern, native to eastern North America, and has been sourced from the artist’s garden. In her works, Heather Hartman attempts to portray the cyclical changes in nature and the fragility of the ecosystems, expressing her heightened concern about the current climate emergency. Kept in a balanced palette of light-touched greens, FROM A VANISHED GREEN gives us a peek into the fern’s lifecycle and movement, from the bursting of a seed pod to the leaf’s slight curl.
