الوصف: "Hidden Agenda is Carol Chase Bjerke's large-scale multi-faceted art project about living with an ostomy after treatment for colorectal cancer. It addresses quality-of-life issues ranging from identity and privacy to specifics of management and self-care. It is about relentlessness and repetition, and about time measured in medical supplies. It conveys vast amounts of information, and provides a vehicle for long-overdue discussions about a crude and outdated medical procedure that is still used as state-of-the-art treatment for a variety of gastrointestinal diseases. The artwork is intensely personal, yet it is tastefully, thoughtfully, and beautifully done."--Jacket.
