Suzy Lake

Suzy Lake (born January 18, 1947) is a Canadian artist and photographer known for her pioneering work in feminist art and her exploration of identity and body politics.

Lake's work often explores issues related to identity, gender, and aging, and is known for its provocative and innovative use of photography. In the early 1970s, Lake began using her own body as a subject, creating a series of photographic self-portraits that challenged conventional notions of beauty and femininity.

Lake has continued to explore these themes throughout her career, often using digital technology to manipulate and deconstruct images of the body. In her more recent work, she has also addressed issues related to aging and mortality.

Lake has exhibited her work internationally and has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts in 2016. Her work is included in many public collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
