Abstract: "Marlene Creates has sensitively probed the relationship between human experience and the natural world for almost four decades, choosing a path that privileges the act over the artifact, the moment over the monument. From her early works that record her ephemeral actions in the land to her later explorations of poetry in situ in the boreal forest, and of photography as an active medium - where, for example, the rush of water over the lens transforms the artist's own image - Creates leads us with an environmental and cultural consciousness to a greater understanding of the natural world and our "places" in it. " -- Book jacket.
