Carolyn Gammon
VS
The Hagglin' Dragon
AKA: 'The Gammon Dragon'
The 'Gammon Dragon' is a site specific piece of work, designed to jar people and interrupt their usual walk into the town centre. In the same way a surprising diagnosis would pull you from your daily routine.
The dragon is a glowing neon sign, intrusive and in your face, it is a sign to do something.
Yet a dragon is not tangible in the real world. But it can still be threatening as it hoards precious materials.
It glows pink as a mockery of failed Breast cancer campaigns as it sits on a large pile of resources, while 31 people still die everyday in the UK from MBC.
Who was Carolyn Gammon?
Carolyn was a mother, a wife, a sister, a teacher, a fierce campaigner and a friend.
She would have hated the word 'inspiration' to describe her - but I can't help it. She really was. Carolyn died in September 2020 from the dreaded MBC and there is still a massive hole in the hearts of those who knew her.
She is the reason I fell into campaigning and remains a large reason why I still bother to fight the system.
