		Mammograms from A to DD - Breast Cancer Survivors
Artquilts in the Discharge Dyed Gallery: Cell Division Chromosome Formula Discharge Study #1 Leftovers Mammograms from A to DD - Breast Cancer Survivors Painted Shibori Poppies on Black Regeneration Rorschach Inkblots #1 Salmon Flowers - Discharge Study #2 Shibori Tango Six Week Color Mood Calendar Sticks and Stones		Mammograms from A to DD - Breast Cancer Survivors by Cynthia St Charles From the Discharge Dyed Gallery Size in inches: 65 x 31 Not for sale This piece was inspired by a challenge generated from an online art quilt group. Each artist was to create something related to breasts or bras. By manipulating plain black fabric, then using bleach to discharge (remove) the black color, shadowy images were created. My research on mammograms indicates that they are always made from the side - never from the front. Nevertheless, everyone who has seen this quilt has remarked how much it resembles Xrays of women's breasts! The names of breast cancer survivors have been machine quilted using pink thread. Most of these names were submitted by the survivors themselves or their friends or family. On display October 1, 2005 - January 29, 2006 at Museum of the Rockies "Over the Top: Story Quilts" Exhibit 600 W.
