Textures of a Woman

This weaving was done for an art gallery on breast cancer.  The woman who asked me to be part of it had celebrated 3 years without recurrence.  Some of the gallery dealt with the henna painting she had done on her head after she lost her hair.  My purpose was to show the story of a woman's life in fibers, textures and color.  The goal in breast cancer was to reach the 5 years without recurrence (signified by the gold fiber).  I was very excited to have such good responses to my weaving and my hem/onc physician wants to put it in his chemo room for display.
