Told in various forms all across North America from the Indians of the American West to the Atlantic Coast of Labrador, the myth that makes up the foundation of "First Spring shows -- as all creation myths do -- the universal concerns of humankind. These themes are given radiant life by Genevihve Ctti's shimmering watercolor images. |
