Jodi Heffernan’s 'Coastal Walk' reimagines the possibilities of printmaking through a poetic use of materiality. Built upon a silkscreen base and veiled with sheer tulle, the work captures the wind-battered form of a coastal tree - fragile yet enduring. Across a moody field of greys and blacks, soft tonal shifts and diffused edges convey the movement of a cloudy sky. The tulle overlay amplifies this atmosphere, lending the work a sense of mist, salt air, and the quiet, rhythmic motion of the shoreline.
For the collector, 'Coastal Walk' offers a rare experience of texture and depth in print. It stands as a lyrical meditation on resilience - nature’s strength revealed through delicacy of touch. Heffernan’s works are held in major public collections, including the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and the State Library of Australia.
