Heart of Stone is an exhibition of contemporary artefact. It is a collection of geological specimens that represent an iconic and widely recognised symbol: the love heart. Through the process of stone carving by hand, each heart is imbued with a new purpose and meaning, thus creating a unique experience for the owner/wearer. Heart of Stone is a vast collection of more than 200 pieces, made to be worn on the chest, close to one’s heart.
