Sara riel 2

Núna (now) art festival, winnipeg, manitoba, canada

The imigary and inspiration came from two rather different sources, the Grey nun, Sara Riel (Louis´s Riel sister) and the birds that imigrate each year back and forth from Iceland and Canada-representing aswell the Icelandic-Canadians and the imigration that took place in the 18th century.
Only the upperhalf of the Grey nuns rope is shown and like a ghost or a bag, it floats in thin air. Coming from underneath it, the birds are set free, creating additional movement.

The fourth annual Núna (now) celebration of Icelandic and Canadian art, and of the ever-strengthening span between, brings a variety of culture in just about every conceivable medium to Winnipeg and Manitoba´s Ínterlake through four weeks in May.
