After a period of intense change, Fourie found inspiration in the serene landscape of Witklipfontein. Inspired by the landscape’s ancient tales written in its rocks and the wildlife that roams freely, Fourie embarked on a transformative exploration. Upon arrival, Fourie was captivated by the area’s natural wonders and found solace in collecting the delicate wings of insects, mesmerised by how their intricate patterns mirrored the landscape’s markings. Eventually Fourie created Swye, a large, wing-like object fashioned from sticks. Swye became her companion, enduring unexpected trials, including an overnight encounter with a puff adder on the aptly named Snake Mountain. Through moonlit walks and shared experiences, Swye became a conduit for Heidi Fourie’s exploration of self and landscape, guiding her brush to create paintings that reflect the essence of transition and transformation. Her dedication to process and fascination with untamed landscapes create a bountiful visual story  and an intimate view into her vulnerable journey of introspection.
