Sculpture by Heide Fasnacht, Jump Zone (vinyl tape, styrofoam, and neoprene, 180" x 204" x 180", 2008; Installed at the American Academy of Arts and Letters, New York City). The image illustrates a mid-career stage and body of work in Heide Fasnacht's career between 2005 and 2008, when shifted from freestanding sculpture to wall and floor drawings/installations executed in tape. This work challenged perception by collapsing gallery and drawing spaces with anamorphic optical effects emerging from corners and across floors that read like dematerialized architectural renderings. In this work, she exploited perspective and visual illusion to suggest a solid, three-dimensional structure exploding outward with flying girders and popcorn-like smoke and detritus. This work and similar works have been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications, and acquired by museums.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a stage and body of work in Heide Fasnacht's career between 2005 and 2008: her wall and floor drawings/installations executed in tape, which challenged perception by collapsing gallery and drawing spaces with anamorphic optical effects that read like dematerialized architectural renderings. These works frequently occupied corners, exploiting perspective and visual illusion to suggest solid, three-dimensional structures projecting or exploding outward in skeletal form with studs, beams, partial sheathing and sometimes detritus visible. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key, development in her career, which brought continuing recognition through exhibition in major venues, coverage by major critics in publications and books, and commissions. Fasnacht's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
