Based on an antique drawing of an anatomical dissection, the body is made from various organic materials including plant stems and leaves, which have been treated with barium to emphasize their details. The projection, situated like a reflected image in front of him, shows the figure’s beating heart, winded lungs and coursing veins. The figure evokes a range of emotions—visitors may be haunted or endeared by his small and fragile frame. That he is composed of organic materials petrified and then brought to life again in the animation, is a sign of Heard’s compulsion to depict the human body as fragile, ephemeral and flawed, but ultimately merciful and full of grace. – Text by Melissa Bennett, AGH Curator of Contemporary Art Video Documentation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1486761394483-QFNS9TZ3APMHFARTF86O/Votive+III_18.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1486762400488-2S1HAHXDDH58Q0ODHYQM/02_Votive+II+copy.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1486763424082-2XVI2XEIOO42CC8JNTJ4/03CH2006Votive.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1486764173416-I0A0QQMWN3MEDNHX6QQ4/04_Grave.jpg Work - Grave (Installation view at University of Waterloo Art Gallery) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1486857565473-JIIZGMAJ3JUFP71ZWRM4/symmetrieswebsite.jpeg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1486937515716-TVZRV3CV42445JD3Y93H/01CH2006Errata.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1486940221935-J0HZGMWBMG82T6ZIG2GF/theatrummundicop.jpeg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1486940748274-I1F29O4ZHNBGSUL3SER2/14_heard_beasts.jpg Work - Installation view at Hart House, University of Toronto Part of the Hart House Installation Collective https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1487366289712-LYVXZK6D2LO2WB9Q5T5E/cabine2.jpeg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1487366659647-775WGAE51C781HSSM2T4/dermac2.jpeg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1487370454390-W4QOVPTHGK8AEECK57ZI/hea066.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1487444584166-5GKCHYFU5VQ5ADRBZUPY/arteri2+copy.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1487445546065-4AGL2U56GP5RML9PDVK2/0525hansel+and+gretel.JPG Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1486938637371-YHEXMN1X7IKN91PHXNU7/10CH2011Veil.jpg Work - Veil, 2011 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1486759947508-LD4KVKC2TQQHWKC7YPS6/AGH+Self+Portrait+Large.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1542312178296-JINLK274TTGZTYHY03IM/FBPOP012.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1627579157862-ZSSHR5L6ITR40VC0PKWU/GolemMedina06.jpg Work - Installation at Play/Ground, Medina, New York, 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1549578307406-R4L5ZTB5N9O37ZYNO7E0/Screen+Shot+2019-02-07+at+5.23.16+PM.png Work - Still from Micrographia, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1542307829140-2OU3998V5AO2UB3N26PE/Untitled+World+of+Threads+02.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589e021c15d5db8d53b72768/1710444986749-4ZBZZU6JPK2NQTVNY7IQ/Redwork+Emperor+of+Atlantis+Photo+Cred+Mark+Laliberte.jpg Work - Installation detail, Niagara Artists Centre, 2023.
