A large sculpture rested on the plaza just outside the Eugene Federal Courthouse. There was no sign or plaque anywhere around the sculpture to identify the artist.

The sculpture was made of many smaller pieces attached together to create the illusion of a discarded chrome ribbon.

The sculpture looked completely different depending on the position from which it was photographed.

From this angle the sculpture looked in part like a DirecTV antenna.

From this view behind it, one could tell that it was a single piece of metal coiled in several directions. The smudge on its surface was the result of a million hand prints placed there over a long time.
