I am an English major, so I am also very aware of words.  The title  Cirrus Carcinoma
caught my attention because "cirrus" is a type of cloud and "carcinoma," of course,
is cancer;  the connection between nature and cancer--especially breast cancer--
is one that a lot women are concerned about.  (Last year Chatham held the WASTE 
-Women Assessing the State of the Environment- conference in which 
they talked a lot about women's health issues.)  Often where nature is polluted and/or
exploited, so are women's bodies.  The flower-like petals surrounding one of the 
breasts in  Cirrus Carcinoma  also made me think a lot about this nature-body connection. 
The image is also in red--a color very often associated with women's sexuality--and the
implications of a flower (virginity) made me think this piece also spoke to certain sexual
issues.  The parts of women's bodies that often become cancerous are also the parts
most desired by men, who do quite a bit of polluting the earth.
