Supporting Maggie’s Cancer Centre
2025

During chemotherapy treatment, Francisca Prieto continued to work, developing Twelve Cycles as part of her ongoing interest in documenting lived experience.

The series brings together the pre medication administered prior to each treatment cycle, alongside twelve spontaneous embroideries made during chemotherapy sessions. Each piece traces subtle shifts in physical and mental states through variations in form, colour, and rhythm across twelve weeks.

In parallel, Prieto is supporting Maggie’s Cancer Centre through a fundraising initiative, including a charitable contribution from sales of her work over the course of a year, and participation in a half marathon.
