About the work
Title: Fragile Heart

Art form: 3-D

Medium: mixed media installation

Year created: Work not created yet

Description of work: The heart is both a biological form and an emotional place. "Fragile Heart" is an installation of a large lace heart in limbo and its circulatory system, aided by honeybears. It explores the fragile beauty of that "heart-place", the body's altar, where we're so deeply rooted.
