A symmetrical tapestry presenting a stylised butterfly rendered in muted tones of brown, mauve and cream against a pale ground. The work exhibits the formal precision characteristic of textile art, with the insect’s wings composed of geometric patterning and circular motifs. The composition achieves a contemplative balance through its mirror symmetry. Heyns’ pursuit of aesthetic perfection extends across his varied media, and this tapestry demonstrates his technical mastery within the textile tradition.
