Creative Access Description

A black and white landscape image of two performers standing one behind another, engaging in a spiritual moment. They have their arms half spread open, palms open, facing away from their bodies. Their eyes are closed in a moment of worship or contemplation. At the front is a Métis woman wearing a black shirt under a leather jacket with long fringes open at the front and with the sleeves rolled up to her elbow. She also wears a bandana rolled and tied as a headband holding her long black hair back from her face, which holds a calm, neutral expression. Behind her is a Six Nations woman with dark shoulder-length, slightly dishevelled hair wearing a dark shirt underneath a black dress coat. Her body appears to be in motion, swaying from side to side as her face and hands bearing apparent streaks of motion blur. In the background is a large collage-like artwork mounted on the wall along with some vertical piping in the dark corner of the room’s edge.
