Torso

A schematic representation of a female torso rendered in tapestry, rendered in soft beige against a deeper blue ground. The figure is abstracted into geometric planes, with the body composed of rectangular segments that suggest anatomical structure while maintaining formal severity. The composition presents the torso frontally, without head or limbs, as a study in form and proportion. Heyns’ choice to work in textile demonstrates his characteristic versatility across media and his meticulous pursuit of aesthetic refinement.
