Keeping It Together (2019) is a statement on the journey of helping my husband through his recent health struggles. After a ten hour surgery, he was stitched back together with these 37 staples. The nurse who removed them let me keep them (thankfully, without any judgement!) so that I could make this piece.

Tara K Wells is a Maritime Canadian artist and designer. Her multidisciplinary art practice includes new media installations, animations, prints, drawing, kinetic and static sculptures, and most recently, quilts. In her efforts to make as small a dent on the planet as possible, she prefers to work with recycled materials, or as she likes to say: breaking down the broken-down and building with the bits. She has had several gallery and festival exhibitions of her installation works, and her animations have been screened around the world.
