Claire - on using art to find acceptance

In this episode, we speak to Claire: a writer, poet and artist. When she was initially told she had breast cancer, she was told she could either have immediate reconstruction, or reconstruction at a later date. She wasn’t informed there was an option for no reconstruction at all.

Claire decided to embrace her new, ‘wonky’ appearance. She presents ‘life modelling monologues’, in which she gives talks about her experiences while modelling for people’s artwork.

I would love it if it was more acceptable to be wonky... the more open and accepting we are of difference, the happier a place will be to live in.
