Creative Access Description
Black and white portrait oriented image of an Indigenous man on a swing, lit by a spotlight. He wears a dark coloured headband that holds back his dark hair, a light coloured patterned short sleeve button up shirt, a dark coloured skirt, and no shoes. He sits on a swing made of a simple plank suspended by two white ropes that extend out of the frame at the top of the image. He holds the left side rope with his left hand, his right arm is wrapped around the right side rope and pinches his shirt at the chest. He gazes slightly downward, his eyes concealed in shadow. Behind him a white dress hangs from a line. The rest of the stage is dark. The white mat of the photo paper makes a thick border on all sides of the image.Description
