“I usually work with a theme and the idea for this theme comes from a conversation I had with my grandmother. She was a little over eighty years old at the time and said she thought aging was strange. “Sure, if I look in the mirror I can see the aged woman, but inside I’m still the girl too.” This thing about carrying your different ages within you throughout life has been on my mind a lot lately, perhaps because I myself turned fifty this summer. I think it’s important to preserve the girl/boy inside and the exhibition is a kind of tribute to these inner girls, but also a tribute to cool aunties.” / Jenny Söderlund
