Torn. Crushed. Ripped. Beautiful.

2014 - 2016

Torn. Crushed. Ripped. Beautiful. is a series of three-dimensional photographs of older women’s eyes and mouths which have been torn, crushed, ripped and shaped. These images vary in size from a few inches to several feet. Some are hung on the wall, others placed on a table or the floor.

We live in a society that does not value old women. The women who posed for these photographs experienced being appreciated just for who they were, which is still a radical act.

Each image is an Archival Inkjet Print uniquely crushed to mirror our cultural antipathy for anything that’s not new, young and obviously daring and sexy.
