American girl draws amazing pictures by her body
Cairo: HelloEgy.
An American girl has a unique talent; she has the ability to draw with her body to produce spontaneous beautiful pictures.
In the beginning, Heather Hansen takes a mysterious stance on a huge, blank piece of paper. And With a piece of charcoal in hand, she lets her imagination come to life. Next, she stretches her body over the white canvas, and something incredible starts to take shape. She contorts, and glides over the canvas as the charcoal smoothly traces her every movement.
The way she moves is such art in itself, it’s something like ballet or gymnastics. You almost forget what is being drawn.
In a very romantic way, Heather stated to distractify.com that her goal during drawing is to "match her heartbeat with the beat of the universe." The emotion that she puts into each piece is almost tangible, with the near-perfect symmetry of her work giving a physical form to the emotional balance she feels as she draws.
While most charcoal drawings come off as harsh and sharp, Heather's are soft and mesmerizing due to the lines being smeared gently by her skin. The reveal of a finished piece is always emotionally charged. Heather has a deep, spiritual connection with her work.
Heather is a dancer, painter, and sculptor. She has performed all of her talents around the world and she doesn't plan on stopping any time soon. She draws with only white and black colors, the thing that invites us to explore the gray areas that connect our minds and bodies.
