Gone! Print

Gone! is a portrait of a woman who wears gold, or "bling", and a cougar pelt. She is an archetype that represents an older woman who is successful and shameless. She was designed for my series, called, "Crush!" which was about my experience dating online for the over 40 and frisky while undergoing menopause. Cougar, a derogatory term coined in Canada, that judged older women for as desperate for sex is now embraced as an empowered woman who sits in the driver's seat of her own sexuality. The word "crush" has double meaning. You can have a crush on someone or be crushed by the fact that they are not who you thought they were or by the fact that they don't like you.
