Love Pirate
He tore hearts in TWO, 2013The Love Pirate is a breaker of hearts. He plucks them from the chests of unwary girls and tears them to shreds, whereupon he tramples them to pieces. Woe betide you if you should cross his path! Of course, if you happen to have a needle and thread about your person, you might be able to pick up the pieces and mend your broken heart …
if one love is not forever, the next may be true …
Initially inspired by this page torn from a 1930s romance novel, this series of broken hearts allows the possibility that hearts can be mended; that if one love is not forever, the next may be true. Nerves might be frayed, like the edges of these threads; lives and loves perhaps are old, faded, and secondhand like these old pages torn from vintage books, but the wear and tear should remind us of who we are, what we have passed through, and how we have come out the other side stronger.
You may hate Valentine’s Day, or you may simply be feeling lonely, but once upon a time Valentines were exchanged amongst friends, not just lovers. So here’s my wish to you, single or loved-up: have a happy day!
