Thomas Heidt

My art is about the power and potential of materials and space.

I am interested in the techniques and thinking processes to transform them.

My ideas develop through this process.

It is a dialogue.

The artwork is finished when this dialogue is exhausted and the piece achieves a sense of conceptual and emotional clarity.
