DESCRIPTION:Lisa Solomon’s sculpture combines a redwood Torii gate (she selected her 
 favorite traditional design for the Japanese gates at the entrance to 
 Shinto or Buddhist temples or sacred places), constructed for her by 
 artisan Jim Gilardi, which displays her arrangement of strands of colorful 
 paper peace cranes – dipped in rubber to protect them from moisture for 
 the outdoors installation.\n\nThe cranes suspended from the Peace Gate are 
 part of over 2000 handmade paper peace cranes made by local residents from 
 a 2020 art installation organized by the Peninsula/Palo Alto Women’s 
 Intl. League for Peace and Freedom for the 76th anniversary of the bombings 
 of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the Art Ventures gallery in downtown Menlo 
 Park.  They are reborn in this sculpture. \n\n•	Come early, at 10:45 and 
 gather at the sculpture, as you walk towards the entrance to the campus 
 from the parking lot, and to your left.  You can’t miss it.\n\n•	If you 
 arrive between 10:45 and 11:00, the dancer and peace activist Sharat Lin 
 will be performing part of the “Dance of Peace” at the sculpture for 
 early arrivals, with graceful butterfly wings, symbolizing our delicate, 
 vulnerable lives in the quest for freedom from nuclear weapons. He 
 performed the Dance of Peace in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 73rd 
 anniversary of the atomic bombings of those cities, and regularly on the 
 Peninsula. \n\n•	At 11 am after introductory remarks, Lisa and Jim will 
 talk about their work on the project; Sharat will be introduced for a short 
 comment.  You will also have an opportunity to ask questions or share your 
 reactions to the Peace Gate.\n\n•	At approx. 11:45 Sharat will complete 
 his “Dance of Peace” as you spend more time viewing the inspirational 
 Peace Gate, and then stroll through the grounds of the college to see the 
 more than 30 other sculptures without a fee on the 24th, as guests of the 
 event. \n\nFor more information about Silicon Valley Sculpture 2021, see:
