Breastless Beauties
Welcome to the Breastless Beauties gallery.
In 2007, Repose won entry into the renowned Quilt National exhibit. Since this time, Melanie Testa was diagnosed with breast cancer and chose not to reconstruct her body, or to wear breast forms. Artistically, this spurred the wish to re-imagine Repose as a ‘Breastless Beauty’, and to help create visibility for those who choose not to reconstruct through the making of art that depicts breastless female bodies. In this gallery, you will find small works that are breastless, breasted and some single breasted Beauties too (UniBoobers). All of the Beauties and a few other pieces are for sale here.
