"Marker Of Origin" 2005, Eugene, Oregon, by Betsy Wolfston and David Thompson
|
|
A small plaque on the base of the sculpture identified it.
|
|
The sculpture occupied the center of a roundabout that separated long term from short term parking at the Amtrak
Station.
|
|
Around the base were historical moments in Eugene's history and distances to locations of interest.
For example, "First Eugene Farmer's Market Begins 1915," and "Willamette River 8 blocks."
|
|
Above the base that (from this angle) read, "Hundreds protest tree cutting for Broadway Place," and "Tierra del Fuego 7552 miles," were amber and white reflectors. Those reflectors prevented cars from hitting the sculpture at night.
|
|
Tile-work wrapped the upper part of the sculpture. Here, that tile contained the words, "World but you Must."
|
|
Higher tile work read, "The Trouble."
|
|
The highest wrap of tile work read, "John Prescott."
|
|
On the other side of the sculpture the highest band of tile read, "Places Never."
|
|
The very top of the sculpture showed directions in delicate curves of metal by David Thompson, Blacksmith Artist.
