'Red Independent Heart' by Joana Vasconcelos
*
This HUGE heart is now part of a group of three hanging and rotating in a black circular room at the CCB. All hearts (red, golden and black) are made of twisted plastic forks and knives, based on the gold filigree pendant traditionally handicrafted in the city of Viana do Castelo, northern Portugal.

That is simply amazing. I would never have guessed the material in a million years. And it's very red, too!
Very clever and very original artwork.
Good loocking recycling
but I must say I prefer the original!!!
Now this is a fabulous piece of art! And from recycled materials too! Absolutely fantastic!
amazing! I love it when something can be re-cast (re-presented) and change completely
Spectacular. Creative. Unique. Thank you.
What an intriguing sculpture. Like others I never would have guessed its material. The installation must be quite wonderful to visit.
Yess, c'est sublime.....
What an absolute gem ! I think your photo is one of the best so far on today's theme. And how creative of the artist to use plastic knives and forks, I thought it was glass!
I hope the art piece withstands the test of time, it's the only thing that worries me!
Stunning and also very interesting.

Really, quite beautiful.
Great shots and perfect for Theme day, or possibly even Valentine's Day next year.
Excellent and clever re-use of plastic cutlery!!

Beautiful photo. I would not have guessed it was made of plastic serveware.
Very unique. I would never have guessed what they were made of.
How gorgeous and original-- our local artists are very into recycled objects as art, as well. Without anything else for scale, I'd assumed it was a macro of a necklace. This is just beautiful!
How absolutely beautiful and extraordinary to learn they are made of plastic cutlery. Amazing! beautiful shots.
Well I never thought of doing that with plastic utensils! Muy bonito!
Gorgeous work.
I am somewhat ambivalent about some of her works, but these are stunning! Perfect and really an elegant choice for this Theme Day!
What is left for me to say JM? Well it's gorgeous and bravo to the ingenious artist. Fabulous entry for RED!!!

Plastic forks and knives?! I'm amazed!
I would never have guessed that eating utensils could be so pretty, but these are, and so very creative!!!
Like everyone else, I would never have guessed the source material. Fascinating and beautiful to look at!
These are so unique and amazing pieces of art. Great theme day contribution. Thank you for sharing them.

Now this I love. Most modern art I don't get, but this is fabulous. When you like something, you like something.
These look amazing. Great choice for theme day.
Based on the number of comments, I'd say your RED theme day posting was a smashing success! Very cool, artsy hearts!
Plastic filigree?! You must be kidding. They are stunning.
SUPERB!! :-)
