8 Studies of a Pull-Apart Heart

I've recently been spending some time drawing at the Surgeon's Hall Museum in Edinburgh in an attempt to find solutions to articulating some small sculptures I'm working on. I am drawn to hearts at the moment. Not the emoji kind but the real, machine kind. What an incredible organ we all have beating away inside of us. I've found many-a-heart to draw in the museum. Mostly sick ones and ones with epic aneurysms but I also came across one of these teaching hearts with pull-apart sections. It was wonderful to be able to hold it and turn it around...look inside. So I spent a good while drawing these different elevations and to my surprise, stepping back now, they're quite beautiful. Top left is a banana heart for scale. I am thinking of asking my butcher for a heart to play with. I am keen to learn more.
