The Poster Club - Rebecca Hein The Line no. 09

Growing up close to the ocean has given Rebecca an inherent love of wild nature, which is where she finds most of the inspiration for her motifs and colours — both in the curves of the shoreline and the textures from stones and ocean waves. “At the moment, I am working with silk fabric and cotton paper. I then experiment with a lot of different types of paint and techniques until I reach the result I desire. It is often a long process,” she says and adds: “It is really down to the last millimetre before I think it is perfect.”

Although perfection in itself is not what Hein seeks to display with her work. Instead, it is a search for beauty in the imperfect. A discipline inspired by the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi.
