The end of life has its own nature, also worth our attention. I don’t say this without reckoning in the sorrow, the worry, the many diminishments. But surely it is then that a person’s character shines or glooms.
–Mary Oliver
Late is a long grid of nearly one hundred 10-inch-square oil portraits of “old-old” women, age 75 and up along with some slightly larger portraits. Sourced from I-phone snapshots, social media posts, or grainy obituary photos, these portraits pay homage to women in late life.

These five paintings, all 60 x 40, depict old-old women who are living alone and fiercely holding onto their independence. On their own, each painting tells a personal life story; together they tell one story.
The women in the paintings could be life-sized, but their scale is smaller, the height of an average toddler, another developmental stage dealing with the dichotomy of dependence and independence. This scale is intentionally unsettling because old-old people unnerve us; we see their bodies as frail and slow and they remind us of our own mortality.

I’m thinking about climate change, migration, plans and guides, Van Gogh, Nozkowski, Sillman, Klee, old-old women, eggs, and reproductive rights. It’s serious stuff but the painting part is fun.
