Vicky Hodgson

In Now You See Me, Now you don’t, Vicky Hodgson's artificially aged face slowly emerges, disappears, and reappears. She chose this slow process to alleviate the shock of seeing such a deeply wrinkled face and to encourage the viewer to take time to look at the older female face. To achieve this old, wrinkled look Hodgson employed a professional make-up artist to age her face by ten to twenty years. This work emphasises the importance of older women being visible, appreciated, and accepted by society.
