A year ago I started combining the brain and heart to create a singular organ. I'm sure this has been interpreted in one way or another many times, but I've grown attached to the image and its symbolism for my own reasons. Mainly I'm drawn to the balance we struggle with between reason and emotion, logic and madness, love as something magical and intangible while at once being something practical and controlled by chemicals in our brain. I'm still exploring this and am excited to see what bubbles up.

Started thinking about nurture versus nature and emotions versus logic. Sometimes it feels like we push one out of the way in order to attain an intangible desire.

Inspired by Carey Merrick's (elephant man) skeleton. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been in his day.

Started to think up new characters. This is a first attempt. Essentially, noticing my interest in skeletons and combining different animals, I thought to bring them all together. This one is paired off human to human, but you get the point. :)
