Moment of Creation
by Sarah Hayes
February 2nd 1997 Chiang Mai Thailand
The Music begins, rippling and quiet at first, but slowly growing louder-wave after wave. The artist sinks her hands into a tub of color and swirls blue across the vast canvass. A thick, gooey line of white comes next.
A dancer approaches, face drawn, eyes full of fear. She seems alone, cradling an imaginary infant. A second dancer moves in. He is free, powerful, his weil of energy twisting and turning in a frenzy of life.
He is in Control and the women is trapped.
"we see our life's transforming each day" comes a voice riding on the music.
"Anticipation…. Artifacts of life…. Learning to break free…."
A Splash of watery red, rivulets streaming downwards.
"Pages falling from ancient relics…."
The women looks up, eyes afire. She rises slowly, Powerfully. Now she is strong. The artist spreads a handful of straw over the white line.
The dancer takes a handful of straw and scatters it over the groveling man. He clutches at the stems -they are all he has now.
"Iridescent life flows through"
Crimson and Purple.
"Splashes of Angels "
