Lisa W is a photo-based artist born in the small town of Kitimat in Northern BC, Canada; she is currently living in Vancouver. She holds her BFA in Photography from Emily Carr University. Walker examines identity, self-representation, history and race through her artwork. She displays her inner thoughts and personal struggles through a visual language, which often results in images from her daily life, images of herself, and of her family. As a half Haisla First Nations and half British female, Lisa attempts to comment on binaries, barriers, and explore duality in identity. Often her work is a very personal comment on how it feels to learn about the histories of her family, the history of Canada. Photography offers Lisa the chance to record each moment, and to archive her own history and tell her own story. She attempts to bridge unspoken gaps, to reach out through imagery in order to encourage others to relate, to remember and to create dialogue.
