Carving Hearts

Now that my studio space has settled, I am back to carving once again.  My daughter has always been interested in anatomical hearts so I decided to carve one which I could use for my 52 WEEKS project (see Monday's post) and that she could potentially use to create her own fabric.  Printmaking lends itself beautifully to this image as the carving marks resemble the muscle tissue in a heart.  And just doing this work is so meditative and calming, something I always need in my life.
