Using mixed media supplies provided, participants will make a visual version of My Body- My Self as well as write a paragraph, poem, or whatever about a meaningful body part and the story about it. They will then have a chance to share their written story with others in the small group. The groups are on-going. It usually takes people 40-50 minutes to finish their project. Most leave their art to be included in the installation but some fall in love with theirs and have to keep it!
Artwork done by Linda Dubin Garfield and Susan Dipronio are for sale to benefit breastcancer.org, the most often visited site for information about breast cancer which was started by Dr. Marisa Weiss, oncological radiologist at Lankenau Hospital and Garfield's doctor.
Garfield and Dipronio have collaborated before for many projects and other non-profits. Each year they pick a topic to explore and a non-profit that suits their artistic theme. Garfield and Dipronio Received a Leeway grant in 2007 for a collaboration based on work developed for previous Fringe shows.
