Fire heart
(2012)

Charcoal and liquid tempera gouache on lining paper, 225cm x 168cm

Fire heart evolved from a study of a series of sculptures where I was looking at the connetion betwwen hands and hearts. I poured plaster into my clasped hands and beautiful heart shaped froms emerged.

For me this piece is a depiction of archetypal masculine energy and is paired with Heart Womb which depicts the archetypal feminine.
