Kinetic Drawings by Heather Hansen

Octavian C. on

Using only motion and charcoal, Heather Hansen is expressing herself through dance creating stunning forms and patterns. The artist from New-Orleans has developed her kinetic drawing technique while setting her body in the sand of a beach. The beauty of her works if reflected by the synergy of the two combined arts: dance and painting. Watching Heather in motion can be calming, mesmerizing, setting the viewer in a state of awe.

Hansen looks to further develop the action painting technique proliferated in the 20th century; she searches for ways to directly “download” her movements onto paper in an organic way, without using anything else other than herself to achieve the desired outcome.

“The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe. To match your nature with Nature.”
