MCMLXXII (NFS)

Oil on Board (framed)

11.5 x 9 in

2021

KERRY'S NOTES: ‘ MCMLXXII = 1972 (the year I was born). I completed this work as I was about to turn 50. MCMLXXII is a self portrait (of sorts). This painting is not how I see myself but how the world views women as they age. It takes a biting look as youth & fertility are replaced with grey hair, elongated features, a full stomach & saggy bosom. Removed from the traditional “male gaze” women experience cultural marginalization & a social devaluing.’
