“Heart Nest”
6 " x 39"
Encaustic on wood panel
$500

Made as one of a series of “nests” not for birds, but rather nests for one’s idea of self. These nests were imagined as soft pouches where we carry the many stories we tell ourselves; stories the inner voice uses to create and maintain our sense of self. This nest, with a subtle heart or torso shape, swings tenuously, rough and worn on the outside, yet soft inside, lined with flannel and waiting like a warm bed.
