top level innards schematic; the mastery of Heidi Taillefer
Last year, while googling frantically for Yann Taillefer's rare works after experiencing his holy manual 'ITO', I stumbled on an article about Heidi Taillefer's art on beinArt. If we lived in any other age, I would have never had the internet to discover yet another seriously inspirational artist (part of my impetus for this blog in general). Heidi (Canada) paints with notable articulation in her craftsmanship, and remarkable conceptual explorations in her themes. The works carry a magical noble victorian sense of earnestness. Body parts are fused with bionics, biotechnology, houselhold items and gorgeous victorian cartouche's and posed provokingly to express the artists ideological concerns and universal issues. Both Taillefer's are eons ahead of their time, I wonder if they're related.
