“My primary drive as a visual artist has been that of story telling from a personal point of departure or connection. Through my work I attempt to question and destabilize my own understanding of personal and collective identity.
I am drawn to historical documents and artifacts as a place to initiate visual exploration. These images that are, or were, commonly found in Canadian school textbooks play a role in our formative internal visual foundation. The shared nature of these artifacts, gives me a point of departure from which to question and explore my own understanding of personal and collective identity.” -L. Creskey
