Item Overview

Description

This is one of x100 breast portraits that was created between 2023-2024 for Geraldine's first solo exhibition "Sisters, Not Twins", which took place in 2024 in Dublin's City Assembly House. A celebration of sisterhood and imperfection, the show included 112 participants and shone a light on the lived experience so often overlooked in Irish society, that of women. The “Wall of Boobs” looked at the discrepancy between the breast as a one dimensional sex symbol, and how it is at odds with women’s own lived reality of this contentious body part; feelings ranging from shame and pain, to nurture and pride. The name of this show “Sisters, Not Twins” refers to a comment made by one of the volunteers in her application form. Describing her lopsided breasts as “more sisters than twins”, the accepting tone of this comment resonated so well with the theme of this show - that we are not supposed to be carbon copies of each other, and that our sisterhood is our power. The phrase has now become the leading message of the exhibition
