The Heart is a recurring motif in my art, and this week I've been bombarded with images and mentions of it everywhere I turn. The Heart takes many forms, both overt and hidden. Sometimes it's a literal heart, whether inflamed, or just a faint glow beneath the chest. Other times it appears as the heart-shaped blooms of bougainvillea, or the leaves of a pothos plant. It may take the shape of a jar, as in ancient Egypt, or emerge as a red wing that I subconsciously molded into a vague heart shape. Whatever the form, these Mysteries are near and dear to, well, my heart. In an age overcome with hyper-rationality, it is imperative that we reconnect with the Heart as a vital source of life.
