‍
Electric Eye is an accumulation of abstract paintings utilizing color and shape to play with form. Through layering techniques, shapes take place and begin to emerge. As Heck’s practice is comprised of both figurative and abstract work, she finds figures begin to subtly develop even within her abstract painting.

She is interested in the intersection of what is clearly delineated and what is not so easy to define. Electric Eye’s color scheme is lighthearted and hopeful. It is a wishful gesture for the future.
