About the Artwork

This print is Heather Gwen Martin’s first foray into printmaking. We at Haystack were thrilled when she agreed to do her very first print with us. She traveled to Asheville, North Carolina to create these works in the PS Marlowe Studio with Master Printer Phil Sanders. 

Curatorial Opinion

The delicate placement of the blue form floating amid the red background creates gentle yet intense movement. The blue form becomes like an organism, flying or floating on the updrafts of the fiery sea. In a two-dimensional composition, the eye is often drawn to the color red. With the word play of Tunnel Vision, we notice that our
eyes are drawn directly to the center of the composition, where the blue form offers a
spot of cool.
