you see, mine grew into large breasts, genetic links to my mother and grandmother.
for most of my life they have been covered. i was always quite embarrassed to find myself in situations where they were bared---by choice or circumstance.
as i grew older, and "into them" i was less conscious of them until it became time to check them, feel them, examine them, cut them. i have had 3 major biopsies/lumpectomies in the past 15 years.
fortunately, all were benign, but there is always that fear in the back of my mind.....
art projects sometimes seem directed toward some of those fears, pain, and sense of loss associated with breast cancer.
they have been some of the most meaningful and sensitive of my work.
the race for the cure is an important
fund raiser for research.
so this year, please support the race for the cure, and run for your life.
i crossed the finish line!!
