Living with breast cancer in text and image: making art to make sense
Qualitative research in psychology, v 3(1), pp 31-44

Abstract
Post-modern social scientists are moving beyond text-based evidence to gain understandings of embodiment and experiences of illness. This essay explores works of art produced by two women with breast cancer: Jo Spence, a British photographer, and Martha Hall, an American who created artists' books. It shows how they construct meaning in the production and display of their art and builds an argument about the benefits of developing a visual sociological imagination.
