Heidi Fourie is a sculptor and installation artist whose practice investigates memory, material culture, and the intersections between the body, landscape, and history. Working with a range of materials — including paper, wax, wire, and found objects — she creates works that are simultaneously fragile and durable, intimate and expansive. Fourie's New York residency brought her into contact with a broad international community of artists and thinkers, enriching a practice that continues to develop in dialogue with South African and global concerns.
The Ampersand Fellowship
Since 1997, the Ampersand Foundation has sent more than 300 South African visual artists to a funded residency in Tribeca, New York — connecting them with one of the world's most dynamic art ecosystems.
