Maori Creation Story in Sand Art

Marcus Winter is an indegenious artist of New Zealand, and is the only "performance painter" of his kind in Australasia and the Pacific.

The following is his live art performance using Sand Art. Marcus tells the Māori creation story of the world being formed by the violent separation of Ranginui, the Sky Father, and Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother, by their children.

He later proceeds to present day landmarks of Auckland, New Zealand and ends with the welcome to the audience to the event, The Original Art Sale 2010, held at the TelstraClear Pacific Events Centre in Auckland, New Zealand.
