Wandering Heart

So a while back I had a thought based mostly on creating some images that folks really didn't have to think about too much, AND I could hang in public without the fear of causing discomfort or spontaneous "pearl clutching" i.e. my images from the Winged Souls and Thoughts sections.

I had a similar heart made of sheet metal that was left in my kitchen when I moved in. I took it with me - and my idea - to Big Sur a couple Springs ago and took some test shots.

I liked what I got, and decided to pursue this idea further. I wanted the heart to be a bit more elegant, so I fashioned a new one out of copper. I shaped it on a table with some opposing dowels, riveted it together, then beat the crap out of it with a ball peen hammer!

I started to take it with me on my adventures, and these represent some of the first images.
