I have often thought about the statement: "heart of gold". As an artist, I take the words and depict them symbolically, literally and figuratively . In the late 1990's I created a series of projects that combined the heart of gold concept with the idea that cats had 9 lives=the idea of 9 hearts=if you indeed did have a heart of gold I imagined one's heart would get broken and so one would be in need of "spare hearts of gold". While the idea lingered I have not actively worked with it until last night when I threw together the idea pictured above.
