Mayumi Lake “Latent Heat”
MIYAKO YOSHINAGA art prospects
This event has ended.
The ideas behind Lake’s atmospheric photography are primarily inspired by her life experiences. Born in Osaka, Japan, Lake was conditioned to hold back her true feelings in a society where spoken and unspoken protocols for women are still significant. Since her move to the United States two decades ago, she has investigated sexuality and female archetypes with both humor and irony throughout her work. After March 2011, when Lake witnessed unparalleled disasters in her homeland caused by the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami, she was too overwhelmed to create any new work for a while. Around the same time, Lake experienced several personal losses including a family member’s mysterious illness and the sudden, unexpected death of a close friend. These life events eventually inspired Lake to create a new series full of ominous feelings.
