Mermaid’s Purse is an amalgam of abstracted mollusk and marine egg capsule forms that alludes to creativity, fertility, and sexuality.
Inspired by the ancient landscape, particularly by the fossils found in her home in the Kansas Flint Hills, Heather’s work reflects her curiosity, mystical attitude, and reverence for the living, breathing world. In her practice, she searches for sense of self and sense of place, drawing on interests in deep ecology, mythology, and ritual, combining familiar forms, textures, and colors to bridge the gap between the worldly and other-worldly.
