Body of Land  



Have a look
at this moving video by the Canadian artist,
Faye HeavyShield. 
Faye narrates the video of her
very personal work entitled:
Body of Land.

I found it to be very personal, powerful, emotional and moving.
Her work has been on exhibit
in the National Gallery of Canada. 

Thank you, Faye for bringing us this work.
