Kathleen Hurley Liao “Broken Heart Surgery”, acrylic, iodine, medical tape, steel mesh, found wire, muslin and graphite, 24” H x 20W” – $500.00

I have observed and experienced Violent Devotion as a maelstrom of adrenalin and passion, catalyzing in destruction followed by desperate repair. An instance of Violent Devotion can also be intimately personal, as expressed in “Broken Heart Surgery”, which involves a process of scarring and rebuilding, remain open-ended. The viewer’s interpretation and reflection complete the work.
