Simulated Heartbeat

This is the 24th piece in my Industrial Heart collection, entitled: "Simulated Heartbeat"

The entire body of the heart is polymer clay that has all of the components of the anatomical human heart, but has made with the look of metal, with paneling and rivet detailing.

The lady asking for this heart wanted it to contain some sort of medical centerpiece, and I decided, hell... what's more medical than a stethoscope?

You have a clear view of the stethoscope in the back. The wires with the ear plugs set inside of the arteries - I thought that these two artery openings made very good "ear canals". Haha! It's a self-sufficient heart - it keeps track of it's own simulated mechanical heartbeat! Any irregularities in heartbeat are reported to the brain. Hahah!

So you have the wires, ear plugs, and than the two pieces of vinyl joining into one piece of vinyl tubing, where it travels around the side and to the front of the heart. On the front of the heart is the sensor for the stethoscope. The sensor is completely industrial - made from the gears and casing gear from watch parts, with a peg holding it down in the middle. I really love how it turned out.

In the back is a microphone. It actually is a microphone part. Signifying that intercom and PA system you always hear in doctors offices and hospitals. It also has a red emergency light in the back. There is also another electronic component on the side.
