Creative Access Description
Black and white landscape oriented image of a Hopi, Apache and Mi'kmaq woman dancing on an otherwise empty stage. She stands just to the left of the centre of the frame, taking a wide stance with her hands clasped together in front of her chest. She is wrapped in a light, mid, and darker tone stripe blanket with a fringed edge. She wears a white mask, the right side of which is interrupted by an exaggerated jagged edge revealing portions of her face beneath. Curls of her dark hair hang over the top edge of the mask. The white mat of the photo paper makes a thick border on all sides of the image.Description
