Published in Optiko Journal 2018 and in her artist book, The Long Way Home by Lisa Toboz (Static Age UK), 2018 about the work: "Before cancer, I had long red hair like a mermaid, and within a few weeks of treatment, it started to fall out. I shaved my head and watched myself transform into a different person: not only physically but also mentally, and now, when I look in a mirror, I see me, who I’m meant to be." Lisa Toboz. Lisa Toboz is a self-taught artist from Pittsburgh, USA using mostly Polaroid photography. Her work explores self-portraiture and the forgotten landscapes in and around the rust-belt region, but her most recent project, “Dwell,” navigates the territory of chronic illness and healing. She has exhibited internationally, and her first zine, “The Long Way Home,” was most recently published by Static Age UK. Member of Film Shooters Collective and the 12.12 Project.
