These works explore an “idea” of Canada, and allude to the souvenir. The desire to take a “piece” of a place home with us and to somehow
authenticate a journey is a shared one. Anneke Van Bommel explores forms and symbols of heroes and villains inspired by Canadian history
high school text books, maps, tourism brochures, and postcards.
