This piece portrays the difficulties of
finding true love, the endless, often fruitless search for the one
that unlocks the heart. The keys depict the relationships that did
not fulfil, the people that did not bring the love desired...and as
the heart continues the search, and life goes by, the heart remains
empty, un-fulfilled, lonely in a crowd...
The centre piece is made from a solid
billet of steel, sculpted by hand to shape the heart, and hammered
over its entire surface to give the warm, evocative surface finish.
The key escutcheon is pewter, riveted in place over the key hole.The
keys themselves come from many months of collecting, and waiting for
the elements to age them.
