... Enigmatic yes, but hardly chilling, the electrified heart beckons the viewer to indulge in a warm, oneiric embrace. Upon first sight of the blossoming, amorphous glow, an anonymous critic whispered: 'Ah, a Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo love child.' Enter musical mastermind Stephin Merritt - bottom right-hand corner - in typical amorous fashion. His band, The Magnetic Fields, laid the soundscape for this sibling duo's expression with the album Distortion. Brother Matthew painted the heart and photographed his own hands, scanning in these captures, and emailing the digital images to Sister Laura. She cut out, composed, and collaged the piece according to the collective inspiration, adding the starry hearts and finishing radiance of gold leaf paint. Fall in for a moment and join Stephin in his musings ... Can you feel The Love this season?"
