As a lover of anatomy I wanted to incorporate the heart as an object that had been dissected to have the soul removed, resewn and transform into a flourishing object encased in an atrium.

The soul was represented in a small carving laying next to the heart .

I turned then steam bent the maple spears growing out of the heart.

This was the beginning to a more focused shift in anatomical works.

The piece functions by turning the portion just below the copper wire having the ground pepper fall out of the bottom of the heart.
