Art for Each and All

“The Hearts Project” is a memorial made to honor lives lost to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is work that takes individual, hand-cut hearts symbolizing all 13,068 deaths in Arkansas and places them within quilt-like collages designed to house memory. Our intention is to disrupt the illusion that the pandemic is behind us. Believing in this illusion fosters a kind of forgetfulness that allows the hard past to slip away.

As you engage with our work take time to pause, reflect, and remember the stories we put forth of a pandemic comprised of multiple, diverse experiences. Doing so will recall the suffering and loss thereby removing the shadows of uncomfortable times we believe must never be forgotten.
