    • "Jo Spence's last body of work The final project, explores the acute sense of unreality the artist felt about the possibility of death and non-being after her diagnosis with leukaemia in 1991. Unable to use strategies from her previous battle with breast cancer, Spence confronted the distinct contrast between her physical appearance and mental state by looking for more indirect and allegorical methods of exploring her condition."--Page 3 of cover.
