Artist Statement
These are a selection of my doctoral creation-research artworks, which are part of a collection called Embodied Landscapes (EL). This research was a self-in-relation inquiry about identity and subjectivity, fostered by the seed of my research journey of retrieving my Métis identity. It is a storying journey, using my own photos, images, poems, and stories that are woven, mixing, and layered as artistic assemblages. EL values knowledge embedded in and generated from experiences, memories, intuitions, dreams, visions, and ancestral wisdom, recognizing being, as in-motion and relational.
