My Heart Is Holding On To

An installation exploring the nervous systems of both the heart and a grove of trees. Branches collected from the land where my grandmother lived and etched wood, cast shadows on the walls as viewers are invited to walk on the roots carved into the floor piece and amongst a soundscape of soft heart beats. The concept of connections is reinforced by the movement and inclusion of human shadows. The body and the earth hold memories.
