“Of course people would say ‘you’re not as good as your mother’ and I just thought that was pretty unfair,” Arbus recalls.

“The bottom line is that nobody is as good as my mother,” she says with a laugh that seems half levity and half melancholy.

At the age of 53, she feels she has at last found her place. “This work to me is really mine, finally. I feel like it took me a long time to find my voice and I finally did.”
