Chest Of Hope Torso Exhibit & Silent Auction

Hey all! Sorry to have been MIA this summer. So busy but no excuses. Back to bloggin all the cool things going on!

From Monday Oct 22-Friday Oct 26 There will be an exhibit and silent auction at the Gladstone hotel in Toronto.

The Chest of Hope torso art project was brought to life by Toronto artist Christa Gampp in October 2006 to support the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and to raise public awareness on Breast Health Issues. Here is her story:

“Since October 2006 I have produced torso casts of volunteer models with the goal of transforming these plaster casts into original works of art.  The response from torso volunteers has been overwhelming – I have done casts of mothers, daughters, teachers, artists, therapists, television hosts, cancer survivors, and the list goes on. By August 2007, I had created many torso casts and completed the artwork on several pieces. But I realized that I would not be able to have them all ready in time for the exhibition and silent auction in October. I therefore decided to contact a few artist friends of mine to lend a “creative” hand by doing the artwork on some of the torsos."

And lucky me, Christa asked me to be one of the torso artist's! I will be going to the opening tonight from 7-10. Would love to see you guys there! Oh, and here is a pic of the torso I did. My model is a lovely greek woman and I wanted to honour her heritage and courage in a simple but elegant vine motif using smalti & stained glass. Check out other torsos at the chestofhope.ca
