A collection of over 60 drawings of glamourous older women, drawn from photographs on the street in Paris, Dublin, and New York. Amongst the catches, and by chance, these include one of Salvador Dali's models, and Andy Warhol's art dealer. They are drawn in white: in light rather than in shadow: emergent. They are bodily and strongly so: glowing in their aliveness. They are sexuality extending beyond our contrived social limits. They point towards an alternative and reversed paradigm of the aging process, where, as time passes, the body fills and fills with life, this energy finally becoming so huge, that, like a supernova it must leave the physical body and take more subtle and luminous form.
The most recent street search for glamour grannies took place in NYC in collaboration with style guru and Vanity Fair writer Rebecca Guinness.
