This work didn’t happen overnight. It is the culmination of years behind the camera, photographing over a hundred women navigating this exact threshold—approaching midlife, deep in the thick of it, and claiming the territory beyond. For years, women have carried these shifts in total isolation. But the silence broke. Now, we can actually say the word menopause out loud without looking around the room for permission.
For this project, thirty incredible women walked through the doors of my studio at the Ford Building -not just because of the title, but the subtitle: Women in all phases of menopause. They brought their grief, their wild laughter, their changing bodies, their exhaustion with patriarchal beauty rules, and their absolute sovereignty. We had deep conversation & plenty of laughter -we made art that doesn’t ask for permission to exist.
This isn’t about "aging gracefully" (whatever polite trap that is). It’s about truth.
On Saturday, November 21st, we are bringing all thirty portraits, and the red thread that connects each and every one. Also the premiere issue of Crone Culture Magazine will be at the Ford Gallery for the opening night: The Era of Becoming.
Over the next four weeks leading up to the gala, I’ll be sharing portraits and words from this collective. But twelve of these portraits will stay off your feeds entirely—they are reserved as discoveries meant to be witnessed on the gallery walls in person. Gotta leave some mystery!!
Tickets for the exhibition gala and fresh launch-edition magazine bundles are now live. Space will be inspirational & raw. W**e and botanical mocktails will be poured, there may even be some hands on self expressive creating on site...and there will be zero polite small talk tolerated. Bring your vulnerable self & hang out with us!
Grab your ticket via the link in my bio. Come witness us.
