<<<Marlene Creates, introduced to me by Nora Khan.
"I know I’ve mentioned Marlene Creates in our chat - but she really is so important in this space as a practitioner - here are her works and the talks really put this ambulatory and wandering practice into words. I noticed recently the nice list of keywords on her home page - “.
But what I find most compelling is how all these practices of mapping are keys to digging both into her own memory and a collective memory - her use of other people’s stories, particularly those of elders, who draw maps for her, who narrate the land, who put language to the land. Signs and markers both literal and mental. I am also compelled by her works when she leaves the land, her boreal forest - and how she redraws the space through memory. What we remember of what’s left behind."
—Nora Khan in a letter to me
