Serving Cunt: The Cancer Chronicles

SADE Gallery | Los, Angeles, 2024

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

"On March 13th, 2024 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. It’s stage zero. I am so lucky. The doctors’ said it was a miracle they caught it when they did. I started treatment immediately. I found on June 21st that I am ALL CLEAR. Suddenly radiant health is here.

I’ve created an art exhibition as a way to process the diagnosis, the treatment, and healing.

The exhibition’s called SERVING CUNT // THE CANCER CHRONICLES.

I know this is bizarre and cancer is scary but it changed my life. First when I was 16 and lost my dad to the disease and I ran from it. And now, for a second time, when it visited me and I had to trust myself to go through it and LIVE LIVE LIVE.
