Heart Beat

A drawing created by the sound of my heartbeat recorded through a doppler. Pieces of handmade charcoal are placed inside the hoop, on the surface of the taut paper. The sound vibrations caused the fragments of charcoal to move across the surface of the paper. Recording a visual trace of my heartbeat. Based on my initial investigation to understand the origin of living - what it was to be oneself and as an artist. Starting from the sound that gives us life, our heart, and combined with an element that connects us all in this universe, 'Carbon' - using charcoal I personally made in a local coppiced forest in the South of England Supported by NHS Neurological intensive care, Southampton Hospital.
