Body image / body essence

Service Provided: Advocacy Group, Caregiver Support, Information/Education, Patient Support

Summary:

Body image / body essence is a project by artist John Magnan dedicated to the issues surrounding ovarian cancer. The web site, http://www.bodyimage-bodyessence.com, offers previous and current information about Magnan's exhibits.

rtist John Magnan began creating sculptures soon after his wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Powerfully affected by the total surprise of her diagnosis and the ordeal of her surgery and treatment, he responded with an unblinking artistic look at the experience of dealing with cancer. With the support of Massachusetts General Hospital, his initial work developed and grew into body image / body essence, a visual vocabulary for ovarian cancer awareness.
