Happy Valentine's Day Folks

To all you lovers and lovelorn alike, I wish you a very happy Valentine's Day.


To commemorate this over-commercialised day here are three of my small heart-shaped sculptures, Nail Heart, Mutant Nail heart, and Nail-less Heart – all carved from wood and, in the cases of the first two, pierced with rusty nails, screws, and other metal implements.


They are from a small series of artworks which are sort of a spin-off from my Nail Box sculpture, which is itself inspired by, and indebted to, the Minkisi totems of the Congo and surrounding regions.
