INTRODUCING SUZY LAKE 

 ART GALLERY |OF |ONTARIO

This is a self portrait  Suzy Lake created

 in 2009 by lying on a flatbed scanner

 for ten minutes.  It's a confrontation

 with mortality. It's like confronting

your own mortality. It's sad because 

it makes me think of lost youth.

  It's hard to reconcile myself to age

 and in this image she is uncompromising.

Imitations of  Myself #1   1973
