This sculpture was made by sculpting/carving a wax anatomical human heart. The wax "heart" had pieces cut out and opened up, to alter its structure, like it broke. Bronze was poured into the final cast of plaster. Thin yarn was crocheted to create strands of blood that come out of some of the missing lower portions of the heart. The sculpture is a play on the derogatory term "bleeding heart liberal." It is a visual of the feeling of my own heart hurting, or feeling broken and bleeding when witnessing the dire need for social programs and government safety nets to care for the poor.

A 3 panel drawing made with chalk pastels. The first panel focuses on the eyes, the same as the face of the child sitting up in the middle panel, and the last panel has the eyes blocked out, on a close up of the face of the child in the middle panel. The middle panel shows a child sitting with hands coming from out of the frame one holding a belt, and pointing threatening the child, the next set is holding open a bible, and the last hand is holding a makeup brush to the face of the child. Each panel has varying levels of paint splattered across them to mess up the images.
