"The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains." -Arthur Golden "Each series begins with a feeling...something any of us could relate to...in this case love and loss. After going through a well timed recent breakup, I took everything I was feeling and poured it into this work...everything I'd felt for years each time my heart broke. It was like gluing a plate back together and breaking it again....gluing and breaking... eventually pieces got lost and soon the whole thing was mostly just glue anyway...what was real of what was left? I don't know. It all felt real...until all of a sudden it didn't anymore. Just like that." -@darlajacksonsculpture It's the last week to catch #DarlaJackson's solo exhibition #aslowdeath!
