Vlug van ‘n duif

A stylised dove rendered in woven tapestry, its form composed of layered, geometric planes in shades of blue and grey. The bird’s wings and body are articulated through the interplay of light and shadow created by the textile technique, lending volume and movement to the abstract composition. Below floats a horizontal band suggesting water or landscape. Heyns demonstrates his technical mastery in this textile work, pursuing aesthetic perfection through the dialogue between artist and medium.
