ABOUT HEATHER'S WORK
Heather Hurst is an archaeological artist and illustrator who, through reconstruction, revives ancient paintings and drawings of the pre-Columbian Americas. For her palette, she draws from many different kinds of primary materials collected by archeologist collaborators – crushed, fallen building stones, field drawings, photographs, topographic maps, and functional interpretations of structures based on lab analyses of ceramics, soils, and artifacts. Through a combination of knowledge, skill, and intuition, she meticulously assembles these elements into vibrant representations of Mesoamerican visual culture. Her work with the Maya murals of Bonampak is her finest achievement to date. Through these reproductions, she conveys a sharp image of the ancient Maya world, retrieving fallen warriors and lost hieroglyphs—in short, making visible what no eyes have viewed since 800 A.D. She has produced a vivid window into the Maya past, revealing the details of forgotten monuments, their human faces, and their architectonic intentions. Her paintings and architectural renderings not only recover previously lost records, but are works of art in their own right.

BIOGRAPHY
Heather Hurst received a B.A. (1997) from Skidmore College and is a Ph.D. candidate in anthropology and archaeology at Yale University. She has played a key role as an archeological illustrator at sites in Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. Her illustrations have been published in National Geographic and Arqueología Mexicana and exhibited at the Peabody Museum of Natural History and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

关于海瑟的工作
希瑟-赫斯特是一位考古学艺术家和插图画家，她通过重建，恢复了哥伦布时代前美洲的古代绘画和图画。对于她的调色板，她从考古学家合作者收集的许多不同种类的原始材料--粉碎的、倒下的建筑石块、现场绘图、照片、地形图，以及根据实验室对陶瓷、土壤和文物的分析对结构进行的功能解释。通过知识、技能和直觉的结合，她将这些元素细致地组合成中美洲视觉文化的生动表现。她在博南帕克的玛雅壁画方面的工作是她迄今为止最好的成就。通过这些复制品，她传达了古代玛雅世界的鲜明形象，找回了倒下的战士和丢失的象形文字--总之，让人们看到了自公元800年以来没有人看到过的东西。她的绘画和建筑效果图不仅恢复了以前丢失的记录，而且本身就是艺术作品。
