Westliche Keiljungfer
1979
"Westliche Keiljungfer" (Western Clubtail) by Heidi Bucher employs a distinctive mixed media approach, combining embossing and linseed oil with graphite and mother of pearl pigment on paper to create a textured, luminous surface. The work demonstrates Bucher's characteristic interest in natural forms, specifically this species of dragonfly, rendered through tactile and material means rather than purely representational ones. The interplay between the embossed relief, organic medium, and iridescent pigment creates a work that shifts visually depending on light and viewing angle, elevating the humble subject matter through sophisticated technical execution.
