About the Artwork

Palpitating Still is continuation of my work with imagery of anatomical hearts, which began in 2017. I freeze the glass hearts before firing them in my kiln. The gesso hearts bring to life a material often overlooked. I also give a second change to vintage plates. In a world wounded by war, climate crisis, and economic instability, I created this piece with the coziness of a grandmother's house in mind: kitsch plates on the walls, cake, warmth, affection. The anatomical hearts are colourful like sweets but also raw like our yarning feelings for peace, for justice, for equality, for love.

Each individual plate or saucer with hearts comes with with a hanging device attached to it. Simple nails will hold them fine. I am happy to suggest a hang or the new owner can create their own hanging. I am more than happy to assist with hanging via video call if necessary.
