TORONTO: Oakville Galleries: “THE GREEN OF HER”

The Green of Her at the Oakville Galleries

Over 80 years ago, a widely circulated image secured the Loch Ness Monster within the lexicon of modern-day myth. While the so-called “Surgeon’s Photograph” is now commonly understood as a hoax—documenting a semi-submerged toy submarine, not an elusive lake-dweller—it speaks to the seemingly bottomless human fascination with visualizing what is hidden from view.
