It’s a topic you can’t dodge because deep down we’re all connected to - ovaries. A local artist is tackling the subject in a project she’s opening up to the community. Bridget Wamsley wants you to share your stories of the the organ that brought you to life.

Her book Ovarian, by Nature is blank. As an artist, she’s used to sculpting objects to her purpose. With this book, she’s making art out of storytelling, out of your stories.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a boy or girl. Everyone came from an ovary. It does lean toward women, but men are part of the nation too. That’s the thing. It’s the ovarian nation. That’s every human on the planet,” Wamsley said.

On Thursday evening, Wamsley will be retiring her ovaries. There’s nothing wrong with them, but they’re shutting down naturally and she says she can’t wait.

“You start talking about things like that and then they bring up their mom,” Wamsley said referring to another person’s story. “One of them carried all the weight because the other ovary didn’t work ... She has her own stories and I have my own.”

Thirty years ago this Friday, Wamsley’s mother passed away from ovarian cancer.

The Main building on Spokane Community College campus looks a lot like every other classroom building. You pass by plain walls, under florescent lights, until you reach your class.

Although, halfway through this journey down Main building, something changes.

There is an assortment of candy glass sculptures decorating a window, giving passersby a sneak peek into what looks like an episode of Iron Chef.

Then a hole in the wall turns out to be a hallway leading to the bakery and a restaurant.

Orlando’s Restaurant is run by the SCC Inland Northwest Culinary Academy.

Bet you had no idea. Well, don’t feel bad because faculty and students refer to Orlando’s as ‘one of the best kept secrets.'
