Description
This ia a live breast cast made from plaster of paris of Melanie McGuinness.
Melanie says, ""It took a while to warm to the idea of allowing the general public to view my breasts, after all exposure of breasts usual follows the protocol of page 3 models and something to be proud of. Being proud of my breasts couldn`t be further from my thoughts, although 5 years on from my mastectomy the results of my surgery are still very raw and only remind me of the horror that I endured fighting this horrible disease. So the decision was made and the appointment for the casting arrived. Being made to feel very special by Keri was the first step and in a very calm and private environment I allowed the first stranger to view my breasts. There was no shock expression or gasp of disbelief just caring admiration. So then the wait......apprehension turned to excitement as my phoned bleeped to let me know the images had been sent. I was so pleased with the results, the artist has done me proud and I think they look really cute (never would that word be used in the past). I would like to say a massive thank you to all involved for allowing/convincing me to take this project on and supported me throughout. I pray each day that exposure, fund raising and support ends this evil disease from affecting so many people.
Melanie`s cast was painted by artist Jane Bryant.
""It was a privilege to have the opportunity to take part in this project. In my work I am interested in repetition, form, and the process of drawing. The idea for Melanie`s cast was to allow the form to guide the mark-making, and I wanted to achieve a sense of peace and tranquility.

The approximate size of this cast is 15 inches x 8 inches.
