Artist Statement
The creation of this project was inspired by two powerful time periods – the Chinese Year of the Dragon and the annual late fall season celebrated world-wide by traditions in various countries. Gateway’s artists utilize the qualities and images of these periods to create a series of community art events and activities that focus on the transformational power of masks and the year 2012 coupled with the late fall season to align art and landscape with community gathering and celebration.
