I did these eight drawings in response to transcripts of interviews with cancer patients in remission.
The anonymous patients were asked what kind of visual presentation might inform people about how cancer and its treatment could affect their sex lives.
I am particularly grateful to the patient who said: 'Is it in danger of becoming a Kama Sutra stroke
sex
video? You know what I mean. Because it’s so explicit, it’s not
something you can illustrate in a sensitive way. I can’t think of a sensitive
way to be honest.'
These pictures, created for Sheffield University's Phoenix Project, are in the current issue of
Configurations, the
journal of the Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts (and the Oxford comma),
published by Johns Hopkins University Press in the USA.
