The Ripening
This project was inspired by the realization, in a visceral way, that I was indeed getting older and joining the demographic of aging women. This stark reality set in when I saw a musician from my past. Seeing the changes in her made me reflected my own. My thought was that she looks different and so must I. It made me be think about the ways women experience aging, discrimination, invisibility, freedom, and acceptance. This project called The Ripening, is my expression of some of those facets through metaphor.
Artist Bio
DeLone is a fine art photographer based in the Boston area. She is also a psychotherapist which often informs her artwork.
Her interest lies in using photography as a way to express internal aspects of the human condition. As Agnes Martin stated, “ We all have the same inner life. The artist has to recognize what it is”. Using multi-medias along with her photography, she continues to explore the many possible forms that this observation can take.
She has had images in numerous group exhibitions and was recently published in Shots Magazine. In 2005 she received a Professional Certificate in Photography from the New England School of Photography.
