"... I did a book called Falling Apart that was very important for me. I think it was probably one of the best books I've ever done—an edition of twenty. I''m very attached to those works. But they're very different than my public work..."—"Oral history interview with Suzanne Lacy," Archives of American Art, 1990

"Wrapped in a protective elastic bandage, this handmade artist's book traces the impact of various forms of violence, from accidents to deliberate cruelty, on the body. Lacy included newspaper clippings on political and sexual violence."—excerpt from "Suzanne Lacy: We Are Here"
