Who are you?

Images towards a piece called rockface (painted plaster, cast from clay original)

The most striking aspect of the ageing body is its invisibility. The ageing body is hidden, not only from the challenging gaze of a gerontophobic world, but from its owner herself who, encountering it in a department store mirror, say, is unlikely to recognise it. "Who can that portly old hag be?" she asks herself, and is startled to find, perhaps for the dozenth time that day, that it is she.

“I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you.”  Marilyn Monroe
