What is the invisible age? To a large extent it’s a phenomenon of our society, which sees and values younger women for their beauty and energy, and also sees and values older women for their wisdom and character. But, in the eyes of this same society, the 50ish to 65ish woman is of little value and practically invisible.
And yet, what we’re dealing with is not a purely external phenomenon. The invisible age is also internal. It’s an age of transition, when women often must go through the unsettling process of redefining who they are to themselves and to the world. Each individual experiences this age differently. What you'll see on the walls at Rayko is the work of 30 artists, from around the country and as far away as Canada and England, expressing what being at the invisible age means to them.
