Association member Grace Ilagan's exhibition statement reads, "Time echoes. It ripples like water, it fractures like bones. Time echoes in the caves of our minds. Its voice shapes our reality and memory." Time is the continous and shared element in this exhibition. The works in this exhibition are works that reflect the "reality and memory" of experiences related to issues such as identity, gender, race, culture, politics, media and family. "AAWAA is a positive force for its members. Some of these people are straight from the Pacific Rim, some are third- and fourth-generation American. We are studying ourselves -- asking what is Asian art? We want to be just us, but there is a common cultural strength combined with openness that gives us energy," said exhibiting artist Diane Yoshida in a Santa Barbara News story dated March 6, 1992. The California-based association was founded in 1989 to support and promote both emerging and established artists in all aspects of visual and performing arts. It has presented numerous membership exhibits at sites throughout California. Its goals are to be included in major exhibitions, anthologies, collections, galleries, museums and, to be recorded in the history of American art, according to the association's mission statement. The museum will be silk-screening the design of the "Time Echoes" exhibit during the reception for the artists. The public is encouraged to bring light-colored T-shirts to be silk-screened for a small donation. The C.N. Gorman Museum was established in 1983 and is part of the Native American Studies department at UC Davis. The museum is named in honor of Carl Nelson Gorman, former Native American Studies faculty member and Navaho artist now living on the Navaho reservation, Navaho Nation.
