  • Ma

  • Artist: Kate Craig
  • Year: 1986
  • Duration: 16:30
  • Country: Canada
  • MA was shot while travelling in India using portable Super 8 equipment, and in B.C. using 8mm video. It focuses on elements at the Rumtek Monastery in Sikkim and at Mamallapuram: prayer wheels, ritual flags and carved rock. Craig weaves these together as she searches for the transcendent in Western culture, in contrast to the daily repetitive rituals in Western culture, in contrast to the daily repetitive rituals of Eastern mysticism. The audio maintains a position of equal importance with the imagery in Craig s work.
