Sally Rees: CRONE

I’ve been thinking about it and wanted to reposition it. I don’t see it as a negative thing, I don’t want to go down the path of, you know, older women, the way that they’re represented in the media and sort of their sort of invisibility, increased invisibility, the older you get, the more invisible you become to society … I actually don’t believe in that, I actually think that the older you get the more powerful you become, and this is an aspirational thing for me.

This book accompanies Sally’s exhibition (also called CRONE), in which she embraced the folklore character of the crone as an ideal incarnation of the older woman: unruly, wise, and fearsome.
