skinwork

skinwork is a striking exposition of the female form with the ambition of raising awareness for skin cancer prevention.

Initiated by Heather Mundle and Bettina Bogar, skinwork is a photo series, an exhibition and a mission to raise awareness about skin health and cancer prevention.

On September 24th, 2018, shortly after beginning the project, Heather lost her battle to skin cancer. She was a strong, passionate proponent of knowing and listening to your body and wanted to organize an event to encourage women to be aware of signs of skin cancer.

With a heavy heart, Bettina reached out to a close friend, Kat Murdick, to discuss the vision of skinwork, and immediately the ambition to see Heather’s mission come to life was paramount.

Assembling a team of driven women who all volunteered for the cause, skinwork took hold as a photo series, exhibition, and awareness event.

This is all for Heather, this is all for You. Take care of yourself and if you notice something off with your skin (or body) - talk to your doctor.

60 women

Featuring more than 60 Canadian women, and focused on the markings and movements of skin - the photo exhibition dials in on the curves and colourings that make us who we are.

Using this stunning showcase of the body a call-to-action is positioned: be aware of your skin’s health and if you’re concerned about something you see or feel - talk to a doctor.

The exhibition was open to the public in Toronto, Ontario back in 2019.
