I STILL HAVE DESIRES

 ACRYLIC ON BOX BOARD I VINTAGE TIMBER FRAME I 33CM DIAMETER

This work references hidden mother photography of the Victorian age, where mothers were hidden to enable a successful image. My question is ..are women in general 'hidden' as they age? Does society still validate their dreams and desires? In this portrait the figure holds 2 powerful symbols, a flame: symbolizing the power of desire and and a heart, symbolizing passion. Age doesn't negate desire..
