Project Brief
The second theme of the ‘I Have a Dream’ Project was ‘To Love’ due March 2017. This medal is a sculpted sponge heart covered with a crochet wool work. I thought about love as something built up with care, effort and dedication but also, as something that takes time and slowly grows, the way I found to express all these ideas was through crochet. The human heart form instead of the stylized heart suggests the physical part of love.
