Ghost Dancers No1, Native American Mohawk, Northern Canada

Ghost Dancers is a multi-faceted body of work
depicting Mohawk dancers, their twisting and turning, their communing and
presenting during a sacred ceremony under the full moon in the far northern territory of Canada. As the ethereal dance unfolds,
spirits, animal totems and ancestors are summoned. It is easy to understand and
be drawn into the magic of it as the veils between the worlds blend and the
dancer undergoes various stages of shape-shifting. What can appear, in some
images, to be a series of masks worn by the dancer, reveals itself to be in
fact the presence of the mysterious convergence of the different worlds in
which the dancer is present. An intoxication of the invocation of spirit,
animus, primal and ethereal energies infects the eye and reaches into the soul.
