When PDN announced their 30 this year, we were pleased to see that they listed MartineFourgeron amongst their selection. Not just a woman, but a middle aged woman!
Martine Fougeron observes and documents the life around her, photographing family and friends.
Find out more about her and her work at: www.martinefougeron.com.

The Invisible Age
The Invisible Age
Self-Portraits of women aged 50-65
RayKo Photo Center
428 Third Street
San Francisco, CA 94107
- through October 10, 2008
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.
Exhibition curated by Jan Potts and Beth Kientzle.
