Lisa Creskey: Match exhibition, 2016
Match, 2016 – Solo public exhibition at Gallery Art-Image in Gatineau, Québec, Canada
Awarded the 2017 Prix du CALQ – Œuvre de l’année en Outaouais – Work of the Year in the Outaouais (Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec)
This exhibition focused on the town of Buckingham, where the artist lived in her youth, to explore the subject of industry, labour, and natural resources. In our current fluctuating climate of labour and environmental issues, this exhibition sought to give attention to details and experiences from the regions post-colonial industrial history and to bring this experience into the realm of the imagination. In a surrealist installation of porcelain and wood, the exhibition drew on imagery of the natural world and archival documents to explore how economic forces influence culture and society.
