Chrissy Amphlett #ITouchMyself Exhibition
The legendary rocker left women everywhere a message in her lyrics.
Overview
It's hard to believe that Australia has been without rock legend Chrissy Amphlett for almost one year; she sadly lost her battle with breast cancer at age 53. Blender Gallery is having a photographic exhibition, #ITouchMyself, curated in conjunction with her husband Charley Drayton and the Cancer Council NSW to honour her memory.
The exhibition will feature previously unseen images of Amphlett taken by renowned rock 'n' roll photographers, including Ian Greene, Tony Mott, Sandrine Lee, Jasmine Hirst and Tony Notarberardino. Prints are available for purchase, with a percentage of the proceeds donated to Cancer Council NSW.
Her most famous song with band Divinyls, 'I Touch Myself', inspired the exhibition title. Amphlett used the song as rallying cry for self-examination in her later years of life, hoping to inspire greater awareness of breast cancer and early cancer detection.
