"Night Watcher"
By placing images of traditional cultures in a contemporary landscape, Steve Kergin is attempting to move beyond the idea of simply reflecting a past that cannot be regained.
This illustration represents Steve's efforts to help reconcile the differences between our historic and contemporary cultures through an understanding of those common experiences that create bonds between all people throughout history.
The Moon Mask represented in "Night Watcher" symbolizes the mystery of the night sky as seen by the people who came first to this land we call North America.
