Continuing Hieb’s exploration into the human form, this painting depicts two arms that anthropomorphize into a towering tree trunk ascending into the indigo night sky. Hieb has long been interested in what she describes as the “denial of humanity as part and of nature.”
She notes that we live in a world where humanity is placed on a pedestal, where nature is something distant, inanimate, and separate from our existence. This painting is one of many that explore this denial, and celebrates spiritualism as a system of repairing that connection.
