DESCRIPTION:Digital Collage art exhibition by Erika Gagnon\n\n– In conjunction with 
 Native American Heritage Month, Canadian photographer and multimedia artist 
 Erika Gagnon presents her exhibition “Digital Spirits” at the Central 
 Library from September 29th – December 7th, 2014.  All are invited to 
 meet Gagnon and learn more about her work during an Artist Talk on Sunday, 
 November 9th at 2:00 p.m. in the 3rd floor Community Meeting Room of the 
 Central Library.\n\nThe digital collage series “Shadow Catcher 
 Revisited” is the central focus of the exhibition where Gagnon blends 
 historical Native American portraits by turn of the century U.S. 
 photographer E.S. Curtis, along with her own photographs, scanned objects 
 and other imagery. In doing so, Gagnon brings these ancient spirits into 
 the present day, creating a powerful visual, emotional and political 
 commentary on the state of our Indigenous peoples over the course of the 
 last century.  Also on exhibit is the digital collage series “The 
 Americas”, an exploration into the Indigenous traditions and medicines of 
 North, South and Central America, as well as other photo composite 
 works.\n\nErika Gagnon is a Canadian Multi-Media artist of mixed blood 
 heritage, which includes her French Canadian, Japanese and Native American 
 ancestry.  Gagnon holds a BFA degree, honors in Graphic Design from 
 Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.  She recently moved to the San 
 Francisco Bay area to further her education and creative interests, which 
 include her newfound exploration into the digital arts and especially photo 
 composite work.  In the last two years, her work has been selected for over 
 30 National and International juried group exhibitions in the United 
 States, along with several awards, nominations and publications.  For more 
 information please visit her website www.erikagagnon.com, or you can
