Here are a selection of drawings I did whilst listening to Ed's heart beat, trying to capture the rhythm. I really enjoyed the process and found it very relaxing. I was hoping that Ed would be able to feel his heart beating (he sometimes can, but only either when he's stressed, or the rhythm fluctuates, neither of which I want for him) and he could then communicate that to me somehow. But it wasn't noticeable enough so I rested my head on Ed's chest instead so I could hear myself. I experimented with different marks and tried not to put to much thought into it, just letting the rhythm feed through. I think this will have a positive effect on the way I work from now on as it really loosened me up.
Could the connection between Ed's heart and my drawings be seen as a stitch??
