I enjoy looking at artists work when their pieces have a deeper meaning. This is what I found with artist, Susan Wortman. She is a breast cancer survivor and from that she started her line of "winged women" which is clay pieces that are the bodice of a woman with wings. The pieces are  exact copies  of what you would think of a woman's bodice and wins are. They are more organic in a sense that at first the pieces would be thought provoking if you didn't know the title. The pieces have a look of destruction to them and not fully complete which is representing what having the cancer does to woman.

Here is the link to her pieces. http://www.susanwortman.com/susanwortman.com/Gallery/Pages/Winged_Women_Series_3.html#3
