Heart #063 Letterpress Print by Swoon – A Delicate Fusion of Intimacy and Activism
Heart #063 by Swoon, also known as Caledonia Curry, is a letterpress artwork that embodies her intricate aesthetic while anchoring itself in the deeper emotional language that defines her Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Released in 2020 as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 75, this 11 x 8 inch piece is printed on heavyweight 300gsm Velvet White Somerset fine art paper, a surface renowned for its rich texture and archival quality. Each impression reveals the tactile qualities of letterpress printing, with ink pressed deeply into the paper fibers, enhancing the visual and physical weight of Swoon’s organically composed imagery.
Intricate Design and Symbolism Embedded in the Heart Motif
Swoon’s distinctive style draws from paper cutting, traditional printmaking, and site-specific installation work. Heart #063 merges this sensibility into a single unified symbol — a heart formed through hypnotic geometric loops, floral radial patterns, and architectural interlaces. The design evokes sacred geometry and botanical growth while maintaining a human warmth that is a hallmark of her portrait-driven work. Rather than focusing on human figures, this abstracted composition speaks to the emotional framework of care, connection, and renewal, particularly poignant during the 2020 period of social and public health upheaval.
Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork in Fine Art Contexts
Swoon is internationally recognized for pushing Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork into museum and gallery spaces without losing the grassroots essence of her practice. Her interventions in public space are just as important as her fine art prints and sculptures. By releasing Heart #063 as a letterpress edition, she elevates her graffiti-infused visual vocabulary into collectible form while preserving the accessibility and messaging that grounds her legacy. The piece becomes a portable mural of sorts, a distilled fragment of her much larger visual universe. With a size that lends itself to intimate display, Heart #063 becomes a personal artifact of one of the most influential female figures in global street art.
Swoon’s Legacy and Continued Influence
Caledonia Curry was born in the United States in 1977 and continues to produce socially driven artwork rooted in compassion and healing.

It carries forward her signature ability to combine mythic elements, street aesthetics, and personal iconography into works that are both visually dense and spiritually resonant.
