MATURE-BOOB Early Detection Kit

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 09:07:38 -0500

$25.00
These plush crocheted breasts have little lumps sewn inside that can be found by following instructions in the accompanying booklets. The booklets also teach you how to perform monthly self-examinations of your own precious privates!

Using the softness and humour of these EARLY DETECTION KITS, I hope to eliminate some of the fear surrounding monthly exams and encourage people to check themselves often. Breast cancer is treatable and often curable, if you find the problem early enough.

$5 from each sale is donated to Cottage Dreams-- a cancer recovery initiative you can learn more about by visiting http://www.cottagedreams.org/

Each Early Detection Kit contains 1 BOOB and comes with the relevant booklet. Booklet covers are screenprinted by hand. Each kit is packaged in a coated pastry bag with front window and foil stamped sticker.

There is also a boy version-- The DINK Early Detection Kit. Check out the separate listing in this Etsy shop for more details, or go to my website: www.shannongerard.org

BOOBS are available in 4 colours: peach, biege, brown or dark brown. Please specify your colour choice in the message to seller field at checkout.

Hung 1 (Never Odd or Even)

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:54:15 -0400

$4.00
The HUNG series walks a thin line between autobiography and myth, exploring some of the basic tensions between fact and fiction in life writing practices. The palindrome title of HUNG no.1, "Never Odd or Even" further illuminates these tensions and reflects the conjoined relationship between narrative and visual information in the comic book format itself.

Produced as a series of stone lithographs, and available now in book form, Hung no.1; Never Odd or Even is the first chapter in an on-going, autobiographical series.
