The artist gratefully acknowledges her long-standing gratitude to The Canada Council for the Arts and Arts NL (formerly the Newfoundland & Labrador Arts Council).

"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

Land acknowledgement
In acknowledgement of those who were here before me, I am grateful to live and work in the unceded ancestral homeland of the Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Innu, and Inuit of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Previous to European settlement, the provincial territory had been inhabited for over 8 thousand years by a succession of people who have been called the Maritime Archaic Indians, the Thule, the Groswater and Dorset Eskimos.  
    The boreal forest habitat is the home of moose, caribou, black bear, lynx, red fox, weasel, mink, pine marten, hares, wolf, chipmunks, shrews, mice, beaver, otter, muskrat, coyote, bats, voles, squirrels, and numerous species of birds.
