Golden Aged

"[i]n every culture, age, like any other important category, is organized
hierarchically. In the West youth is the valued term, the point of reference for defining who is old." (Kathleen Woodward)

The invisibility of older generations is a veritable issue, and yet old age is a gift. In light of the progressive ageing of the worldwide population, I want to celebrate the golden years; particularly in the youth-obsessed world of fashion, I wish to demonstrate that when it comes to style, older might well be wiser...

“No loudness is to be registered, only dynamic rest.” Gertrud Vasegaard (1913-2007) was a third-generation Danish potter. She lived and breathed ceramics until her death at 94. Vasegaard was little known outside of Denmark, but for one exhibition of her work in the UK in 2011. The above quote is from a review of that show. The repetition, lines and dynamic simplicity that can be attributed to her work can also be said of her classic style.
