Enchantment, collage, 2009 by Marcia Weisbrot

In this series I am looking at issues of visibility and invisibility as they apply to women aging. The empty dress floats above ordinary material objects---homes, autos, and furniture, as well as landscapes and animals. The dresses float through enchantment, danger, opportunity and mystery. There are constant reminders of age and change with the styles of dress, and with elements as obvious as a clock and as subtle as a darkening sky. Reflecting reality and fantasy, settings exude empowerment, loneliness, and uncertainty. Will the invisible become more visible?—Marcia Weisbrot
