Marlene Creates – Artist Walk at McLoughlin Gardens

June 18 2022 / 11:00am - 4:00pm

“Underlying all my work has been an interest in place – not as a geographical location but as a process that involves memory, multiple narratives, ecology, language, and both scientific and vernacular knowledge.” – Marlene Creates

Marlene Creates, CVAG’s Summer 2022 Artist-in-Residence, will lead a site-specific walk in the forest surrounding the artist residence.
This will be followed by memory mapping and story sharing session.


Saturday June 18
