Davenport’s work is rich with narrative threads and trenchant ~Artist~ observations of the human condition. Heyward’s dreamscapes contain bits of the familiar, but they are juxtaposed in unfamiliar ways. There is a rightness to the completed images, as if they could be no other way, yet there is also something off-kilter and unsettling. Heyward’s works evince a kind of shock to the system, and an invitation to unravel the narrative threads presented. There is a puzzle-like aspect to the series, with each new piece adding clues as to the interpretation of others in the grouping. Figures both float and anchor many of the compositions, emphasizing the fact that humans are surrounded by a landscape of images and impressions brought together by imagina- tion.
