An ovoid form dominates this tapestry, constructed from a careful arrangement of rectangular blocks in varying tones of ochre, cream and tan. The geometric composition creates a subtle three-dimensional effect through its tonal gradations, suggesting volume and depth within the woven structure. The palette remains restrained and earthy throughout, with the pattern occupying the central field against a broader ground of consistent warm tone. Heyns’ pursuit of technical mastery is evident in the precise execution of this textile work, demonstrating his characteristic obsessive attention to aesthetic refinement across multiple media.
