It's all about identity - and not retiring. Well done Ruth Faerber!

Thanks Kate, for your inspiring article on Ruth Faerber - she's 88 and has no intention of retiring and giving up her identity as an artist. She is exhibiting her work at Artarmon Galleries alongside works on paper by late artist John Coburn. She says, "I find it oddly engaging that the passage of time is represented by the generation links in the show."
The exhibition features Faerber's recent digital prints - she reinvented herself as an artist about six years ago to employ new techniques such as inkjet printers. "I discovered amazing things that could not be done in other ways - the result is not a photograph but a graphic." she says.
The exhibition continues until next Tuesday, November 9, at Artarmon Galleries at 479 Pacific Highway, Artarmon. I can feel a 'walk with a purpose' looming on Sunday.
