The Gammon Dragon

This fluorescent pink monster is the brainchild of Tassia Haines - after being diagnosed with secondary breast cancer Tassia has gone on a mission to highlight the dangers of this. Tassia says:

The Gammon Dragon is designed to jar people and interrupt their usual walk into town - in the same way an unexpected diagnosis would pull you out of your 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 and hoard precious materials. It glows pink as a mockery of breast cancer campaigns as it sits on piles of valuable resources , whilst 31 people die every day in the UK from MBC.

The dragon was named after Carolyn Gammon - a mother, wife, teacher, sister, fierce campaigner and a friend. Carolyn died in September 2020 from MBC. For more information about this young artists incredible activism and the little known dangers of MBC please visit mbcwales.co.uk
