“These are drawings of mourning and celebration. (…) In Introducing Myself, a text from 1992, Ursula K. Le Guin wrote: “Just about the time they finally started inventing women, I started getting old. And I went right on doing it. Shamelessly. I have allowed myself to get old and haven’t done one single thing about it, with a gun or anything. (…) I might just as well start pretending that I am an old woman. I am not sure that anybody has invented old women yet; but it might be worth trying.” Exercising joy, inventing oneself at all ages, embracing a fullness that escapes conventions and, shamelessly, aiming being whole.”
