Heart Gone Haywire
Bead Journal Project for August, 2009. Bead embroidery on three fabrics. This piece is all about my heart (in the physical sense), which was having episodes of irregular and rapid beating starting in July. During the month of August I wore a heart monitor 24 hours a day to determine if there was a problem or not. At the end of the month, the results showed relatively harmless PACs (premature atrial contractions)... nothing to be alarmed about at this time. I made this piece trying to show the physicality of my heart during this month. The tiger and rabbit, my totem animals, are in my heart as healers and guides. The angel hair fringe surrounds my heart and protects it.
