This performance art piece was inspired by the illustrative ‘ myth of origins’ described in canto 1  of the Finnish epic poem, The Kalevala.   My visual translation of the text is a non-literal, poetic/ symbolic representation using chant, movement and sculptural elements.  This edited video footage is from two live performances that took place in rural Iowa in June, 2002.  DV-SD/4:3
