– The piece that started it all. Joyce originally conceived the idea that would become Deconstruction as a mental exercise to cope with the continual changes to her body. Inspired by a piece of artwork that her daughter Carson created in kindergarten, Joyce imagined herself…

Eventually, Joyce was left with no other option than aggressive chemotherapy, resulting in one of her least favourite cancer side effects… the loss of her hair.

A new medication increased Joyce’s likelihood of developing blood clots & the medication to counteract the clotting resulted in her becoming pre-diabetic and having to closely monitor her blood sugar levels.

After making the decision to end treatment, Joyce was placed directly into Hospice Care. Over the next few months, her condition worsened, essentially rendering her bedridden & requiring a help (gloved) hand to complete simple tasks.
