Gallery Without Walls

In October 2009, I set out on a goal to photograph every piece of art and sculpture within the Gallery Without Walls in Lake Oswego.  I photographed all the rotating exhibits, the permanent art collections and People’s Choice winners from 2009 until now.  I have finally accomplished and completed that goal.

This is the last of the photographs from the Gallery Without Walls until July 2012 when an additional 15 sculptures will be presented by the City of Lake Oswego as a part of the on-going rotating exhibit.

Age Of Iron

This sculpture called Age of Iron is part of the City of Lake Oswego’s permanent art collection. This piece of art sits on the Cline-Kinyon Corridor, a pathway in downtown Lake Oswego, dedicated to two public employees. Cline (1969) and Kinyon (1973) both retired in the early 2000s.

Tom Hardy is the artist of this sculpture who describes it as “welded metal placed in harmony” and is made of reclaimed steel.

In The Flow

I went in search on several occasions to find this art.  Then, over the holidays while showing property, I came upon it quite by accident.  Turns out I’d been looking in all the wrong places.

Stuart Jacobson, sculptor of this Gallery Without Walls art, describes it as “An abstract depiction of the Willamette Falls in Oregon City, where the first power generation facility was sited”.

In The Flow is made from basalt and sits in Glenmorrie Park in the Marylhurst neighborhood.  It is part of the City of Lake Oswego’s permanent art collection.

The Awe And Wonder

This is #19 in the Gallery Without Walls.  It is part of the City of Lake Oswego’s permanent art collection.

It is glass and the window is part of Lake View Village.  The artist Lonnie Feather says of her creation “the essence of our relationship to the universe, the awe and wonder of life”.

Over the holidays I took some of the last Gallery Without Wall sculptures I hadn’t taken pictures of.  In fact, there were some I frankly couldn’t find. There’s one that I had been looking for the last couple of years and came upon it by accident while I was actually showing Lake Oswego real estate and will be posting that one last as it was the most difficult for me to find.

I will be posting the remaining photos this month and I will then have completed my goal of taking pictures of all the sculptures in the newest rotating exhibit (those that will remain until July 2013), the others still in the rotating exhibit (those that will remain until July 2012), the City of Lake Oswego’s permanent art collection and all the People’s Choice Winners.

Water Water Water

I felt this sculpture entitled Water Water Water was appropriate for this time of year with our rain.  However, December 2011 was one of the driest we’ve seen in decades.

Water Water Water is located on the rear of the Fire Station in downtown Lake Oswego.

A visual ballet of the first and most basic element of the fire-fighting craft by Bruce West.  It is made of stainless steel and frankly couldn’t find it on several attempts.  When I finally looked at the City of Lake Oswego’s Walking Tour 2012 I looked for the peak of the building it could be on.  I finally found it on New Year’s day!

I can’t wait to see the new sculptures in 2012 that will be installed around July.
