Statement
For the past 10 years Louise Levergneux’s artistic practice has been the production and distribution of artists' books. The work incorporates digital photography and imagery as devices that express her interest in the concepts of memory and identity. Individual references are characteristic of the work, which centers on the act of collecting, storing and disseminating personal information. Levergneux’s work continues to store and collect for the viewer her memories, her self-identity, and her environment. References to memory, history, and personal recollection are characteristic of her work and resemble a collection that is similar to that of an archive.
