Coronary, Corona, Crown

Within the many "layers" of this artwork, the human heart is alluded to, both that bodily muscle, and the whole person. I used National Geographic imaging to depict an angiogram x-ray showing the blood vessels in sharp relief (this procedure detects blockages).

The restored, freed heart seems to hang like a beautiful illuminated gold locket, (a precious "Heart possession") on display to the universe; and the gold chain is not an oppressive one...

The now familiar "Christ the Redeemer" statue in Rio De Janeiro was seen mostly (merely) as a backdrop to a gathering of nations. Yet he truly stands, atop the heart, arms outstretched in majesty and unconditional love; inviting.  Below, all the "veins and arteries", like the many travellers, roads and directions (there are tickets a-plenty) converge, and lead.... here!

I have visually suggested the labouring old earth in transit, "curtains", being "pulled back and rolled up", as all is made new...  What a day when the King’s feet touched (and will touch) earth!

Suggestions of places are also collaged in; ancient and current, near and far, using maps of various kinds. They are city/river/garden places .... settings for?                                                                                                     
There is also part of an x-ray of a chest (where the "heart" resides). This is one of my more complex works, but I think there are plenty of "YOU ARE HERE" markers, if you stop and ponder, brought like a great Dove ... to the heart.
