DECONSTRUCT ... RECONSTRUCT
A diagnosis of Breast Cancer may deconstruct our lives.
How we respond will determine how we reconstruct our life.
I took a BCRT (Breast Cancer Research Trust) T-shirt,
originally purchased from Glassons.
Using a pattern from the book, "Alabama Stitch",
I deconstructed the T-shirt and reconstructed it into a very funky corset.
I found it very healing,
almost celebratory,
to deconstruct something,
and then reconstruct it into something new and different.
All the while, the integrity of the original garment is not lost, merely transformed.
I have also tried this with a variety of cotton T-shirts which have a strong graphic on the front.
