Truth is Beauty:

The Life Drawing Monologues

Since deciding not to have reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy in 2014, Claire has been asking: ‘Why are the thousands of women like me so hidden? What anxieties do we share as a society, where disguise is regarded as important as treatment? And how can women make informed treatment choices when there is so little representation of us within mainstream culture?’

Having used her body in her art practice for 30 years, she is in a rare position to explore these themes. Most recently, she has returned to the life room, performing a life modelling monologue, Truth Is Beauty, and also devising a series of participatory walks, Intimate Tours of Breasts.
