Creative Access Description
Colour landscape image of a Nehiyaw Isko woman performing under a spotlight in a dark room. She stands in the centre of the frame, wearing platform moccasins and is wrapped in a shawl made from hundreds of bepsi (soda) can pull tabs woven together with long nylon streamers in bands of light blue, pink, orange, lavender, and white, which hang in a long fringe from the edge of her shawl down to her ankles. Her forehead is decorated with a dense cluster of shiny pink beads and a number of white sequinned barettes hold her golden brown hair, which spills over her shoulders under the shawl. Her right hand emerges from under the shawl holding a wireless microphone under her chin. On either side of her, two standing mirrors reflect both sides of her costume from behind creating a triptych of sorts. Darkness shrouds the rest of the room save for the warm hardwood floor under her feet.Description
