FROM A VANISHED GREEN - Mixed Media Painting of Christmas Ferns in 3 Stages

2022

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.

  • CHROMASEEDS - Framed Mixed Media Painting of 3 Gaillardia w/ Blooms Falling
    By Heather Hartman
    Located in Signal Mountain, TN
    CHROMASEEDS is a multilayered composition created with paper and tyvek cut-outs painted with oil, acrylic, and gouache, sealed with polyester mesh layers. The plants represented in the piece are Gaillardia flowers, commonly known as blanket flowers, native to North America and often bred for their decorative, ornamental shape. In her creative process, Hartman anthropomorphizes the flowers, paying attention to their dance-like growth movement. Here, their shadows dance in the prismatic light of the rainbow, while the wind catches their seeds, cultivating the garden. The vibrant, rainbow light was achieved by painting a prismatic shape on tyvec and black paper, creating a reverse silhouette...
