The Cancer Card
I’ve remembered how to be cold hearted and in fact
I wanted to have something that I could dip in and out of during treatment, and with as many different styles and techniques as possible, to suit whatever mood may pass.
During treatment, whenever we felt too tired to socialise, we would ‘play the cancer card’ and opt out. “So sorry, no can do; cancer you know…”
Cheeky but valid nonetheless.
And so this painting evolved.
Have a peek……you can see where the surgeon cut the cancer from my right boob……
The making of The Cancer Card
As with some of my other work, I’ve used luminous paints.
The dancing harlequins were inspired by dancers at The Rep Theatre Dundee.
Brumbled
No expense spared.
