for several months, my family and I have been struggling with news that my sister has pancreatic cancer. it’s devastating. we cling to hope.

a few weeks ago, i was on a mission in my studio. i started to make c hearts. (cathy hearts) it was a strong desire to have something to hold… hold the hope, hold the heart, hold my sister. that day, i spent 7 hours straight sawing, filing, hammering, soldering and polishing.
