I hadn’t anticipated so much interest and support so soon! I
re launched the Breathless-Breastless Project on Facebook last week and have 21
likes, a very talented Scotland based artist on board and the opportunity to
promote the project in an Art magazine!
The idea of the project is to raise awareness as to the
disfiguring effects of breast cancer surgery yet highlighting that we are still
very much beautiful whole women. The
idea was born after seeing the fabulous photographs in the Scar Project being
exhibited in the USA. Our project aims
to produce paintings, showing powerful images of ladies who have been on a
breast cancer journey and who wish to share their story and their scars with
the world. When I was first told I would need a mastectomy I really
had no idea what my body would look like after surgery and nor it seemed did my
family or friends.I am excited, if a little daunted, at the prospect of travelling to Edinburgh at the end of the month to meet with the artist and have a photo shoot with a view to some breath taking paintings being created.
The Project is looking for more ladies willing to pose for
paintings and for artists willing to paint! Support in any area would be very
much appreciated, promotion, creative ideas, exhibition space, admin etc. It is
hoped that we can launch a small exhibition in Edinburgh and Aberdeen and gain
some media and charitable coverage. Watch this space!
Please support Breathless-Breastless Project by liking and
