Today I will take the time to briefly explain the title of this page and give my thanks to my friend Michelle. Let me explain. Appropriated Heart has become the title for many things that I do. Recently, it was the title of my thesis exhibition, it is my LLC under which I sell all my jewelry, and now is the title of this page. For me it is a title that I use to front my self and expressive products like jewelry or writing. Simply stated Appropriated Heart is me and that which I create.
Now to my friend Michelle, whom I am tankful taught me the word appropriated! Simply defined to appropriate is to take exclusive possession of, to take or make use of without authority or right, or to set apart or assign to a particular purpose or use. So, to appropriate ones heart, or for someone or something to appropriate your heart, is that not love? Whether willingly given, taken, with knowledge of the even or not, to me this is love. Maybe someone has taken your heart and you love them, maybe someone has give you their heart and you have not even known. Love is everywhere and often in todays world we neglect to see it. So how is this me? Ever since I was a child I loved drawing hearts, all over my notebooks and folders, and I would write love all over the place, in big flowing cursive letters. Really, I was like any teen but to think about it makes me sound ridiculous! I think i just threw up a little in my mouth! But that was me. So now, with the information provided to me via Michelle, I am able to represent my self in a slightly more sophisticated manner while keeping some integrity, and minusing all the kitchy little harts!
