Gather is part of three interconnected artworks that express welcome, belonging, and gratitude. The design for this three-panel entry door, to the Seattle Convention Center Summit’s loading dock, is inspired by twined gathering baskets. When the panels activate to open the door, regional foods and traditional materials “flow” into the basket. As a delivery entrance for suppliers, this gesture of gathering mirrors their activities, while also referencing the overall purpose of the convention center as a place of gathering.
Gather is designed in concert with companion pieces Grounding on the adjacent south wall of the Summit loading dock, and Thank You and Goodbye, the exit doors to Terry Avenue.
