This piece represents women who have battled breast cancer. I've been working on this bust for six years, and in that time it has been reworked and layered over to become what it is today. The bust draws attention to the breast cancer symbol we all know so well. I explored this particular form of cancer from all angles in this piece. The circuit boards on the bust represent a woman- her physical being internally. Each watch has been carefully placed and tells a story: Ticking watches represent women who were diagnosed with breast cancer. Watches placed three in a row, represent generations of breast cancer within a family. Watches that are no longer ticking devastatingly represent the women who have lost their battle with breast cancer. The tiny pink nails represent the cancer metastasizing and spreading in the body. The burden of breast cancer lies on the woman's shoulders, here is where she carries the weight of her diagnosis. Many circuit boards have been righteously smashed.
