Douglass' black and white self portraits, turn the North Country, of Northern New York, into a bizarre, unfamiliar place. A collector of flotsam and jetsam, she pieces together past, present and future. Searching for signs of life in a dusty, decaying world, Douglass issues a call to action: "No one is coming to save you. You must save yourself." Her photographs and prose are a transfusion of life into a dying world.
