i carry your heart - shadow box 1 - Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas

I love that do many of you resonated with my collaged hearts over the years. This season I made 4 new pieces that are shadow box framed in a way that allow the hearts to feel even more sculptural.

Framed art is 9” x 9” x 2” and can hang on wall or sit on a shelf. Each piece comes with the e. e. cummings poem “i carry you in my heart” printed on heavy cardstock. 

[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

-e. e. cummings
