Last October I gave a talk called “A breast cancer story told through art”, in which I discussed the how and why art can be used to heal emotionally following cancer. I interwove the art work and writing that I had done from my cancer treatment experience to illustrate the theory in action, hoping that it would inspire others to find their own unique creative voice for healing.
I have been re-listening to the talk in preparation for a presentation I am doing. Giving the talk was one of the highlights of my life, to be able to tell the story and share how art has helped me to heal, was such an honor. You will find below a photograph of my breast casts, that show the treatment experience, and a link to the audio recording. Please enjoy!
