Brain Cancer Got Me Thinking - Art Exhibit, Oct 7-13, 2015

SO honoured to have one of my photographs (my first honest attempt at a self portrait!) selected for an upcoming Art Exhibit "Brain Cancer Got Me Thinking" at the Visual Space Gallery Oct 7-13, in collaboration with the BC Cancer Agency.

Check out the broad range of creative art submissions from various artists, in various mediums, in this slideshow. The first three images in the slideshow are from my photographic series called "The Girl at the Edge of the Garden".

Through diagnosis and treatment for my brain tumours (which rendered me monocular many years ago but were only formally diagnosed in 2012) I became intensely connected to nature around us: connecting emotionally with trees in the wind and finding solace and strength in the forest.  

I also connected with a stone figurine in our garden; exploring metaphorical feelings about my particular circumstances in silent reflection with…. the girl at the edge of the garden.  

Here are the images she's inspired me to make so far...

#1:  “Stone Repose” 

 

#2: “Clinging”  

#3: “Your Move”
