Heart Memory 2

I have continued my exploration of heart transplant data with individual pieces that reflect specific elements of the data. This piece represents the geographical locations of heart transplants in the United States. Stitching over an EKG highlights an actual heartbeat, while the blocks of color are situated roughly within the region as if this were a map of the country. This simple design makes it clear that significantly more transplants occur in the Southeast, while there are relatively few in the Northwest.
