Creative Access Description

Black and white landscape oriented image of a Japanese Canadian woman and a white woman to her right, framed from the knees up. They stand at microphones and are spotlit against a light background decorated with large oval shapes. Both wear dark coloured sleeveless gowns decorated with sparkly sequins and fluffy feather or fur-like adornments. They also wear large fluffy and sparkly headpieces extending from the back of their up dos and curving forward over the tops of their heads. Both are heavily made up with theatrical eye shadow and exaggerated brows. Their hands are together at their waists and the white woman is singing, while her co-performer gazes out at the audience. The spotlight creates dark shadows behind both performers.
