The Human Heart: An Artistic Exploration

This was a series of 9 reliefs that artistically research the many complex and multi-layered aspects of the human heart. Not all are shown. The heart and its physiological functioning has many inherent sculptural elements, including: flow, circulation and rhythm; expansion and contraction; flow in and out; and centre and periphery. It is the centre of our being and emotions and yet greatly misunderstood as often being considered solely a physiological pump. I have explored both the physical attributes and to portray the deeper, spiritual aspects of the heart too.
