Vicky Hodgson

Trauma is a visual representation and performance of Vicky Hodgson's body made following eight gruelling rounds of chemotherapy drugs administered intravenously to kill her fast-growing breast cancer cells. Depicted in these images is her body ravaged by the side effects of these drugs, drugs that caused her hair to fall out, reduced her appetite and caused severe tiredness. She is portrayed as an ageing, weakened and underweight woman with a gaunt face, sunken eyes, and scant hair regrowth
