The Mystery of The Sphynx, Heidi Martin, 2023, wood and alpaca on Monk's, 26 x 22 in. / 66.04 x 55.88 cm.

Created using 22 values of black and set upon a wine background, this piece only uses color to feature the heterochromia in the subject. This technique employs punching into Monk's cloth using an Oxford 14 punch and hand dyed wool and alpaca. The wrinkles in this hairless species are its hallmark.
