The Tender Organ
A collection of sculpted anatomical hearts, made slowly and entirely by hand.
While looking through my books, I came across Love Letters: An Anthology of Passion, a collection of letters written across different places, lives, and moments in history. The book gathers love in so many of its forms: devotion, admiration, obsession, revelation, inspiration, and those feelings became the names of the different styles in this collection.
Each necklace holds its own version of the heart: imperfect, tender, visceral, handmade. Each heart is individually sculpted and hand-painted, so no two will ever be exactly alike. Small variations in shape, texture, and color are part of the piece and part of the process.
