Invitation to Private View 5 pm Wed 4 December 2019

Cultural narratives and representations of ageing have produced post-menopausal women as

disadvantaged and overlooked subjects. This feminist investigation into representations of scarred, aged
female bodies explores the possibilities for re-imagining ageing as woman and artist. Interwoven with this
is an examination of the aesthetics and cultural narratives of illness with a focus on the scarring left after
treatment for breast cancer. The work investigates becoming and accumulating as well as loss and decay.

This approach to ageing is unique in that it takes the erotic old woman seriously, combining attention to
formal aesthetics with anarchic humour.

Opening hours: 12:00 – 18:00 Monday – Friday. Open Late on Thursday until 19:00
