Matters of the Heart

Pause for a moment to consider the word “heart”. In simplest terms, the heart is the multi-chambered muscular organ which maintains the circulation of blood. When we explore deeper however, the word “heart” is used to express emotion: “spoken from the heart”, to describe the center: “heartland” or “heartwood”, and finally,“heart” is the word universally rooted in emotion: “with all my heart”.

Imagine seeing the heart while experiencing all these emotions. Imagine the color, the energy, the movement, the texture, the shape, and the form of the line.

My intention with this collection of ten hearts is to portray, through line and color, movement and shape, who we are at the core for being: a true visual expression of “the heart of the matter”.
