This piece presents a three-dimensional, black head and neck form. A mask of orange, red, and white paint covers the face. Thin, white vertical lines extend down the forhead, but they are contained by a horizontal bisector. Eyebrows are suggested by two rows alternating white dots. Another row of alternating, light orange dots bisects the area extending from the middle of the nose, and thin lines similar to the ones on the forehead extend down over the rest of the face. Two orange circles, bordered with alternating white and red dots and covered in thin white lines. The orange lips are outlined in red., Phyllis Yes; Untitled Head; 1989; mixed media; U of O Science Complex, http://www.lclark.edu/~yes/, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

This sculpture by Portland artist Ronna Neuenscwander stems from her experience in the West African country of Mali. The urge to trace the camel caravans of the Sahara Desert to Timbuktu created a backdrop for unanticipated adventures. Inspired by ancient cultures as quietly pervasive as the sands, she encountered a land that gives nothing, yet produces a life of utmost grace (unknown source, OAC documentation)., R. Neuenschwander; Gnogome (Camel); 22 (h) x 21 (w) x 8 (d) inches; earthenware, adobe; 1984, For more information and background on the artist, see , http://www.froelickgallery.com/Artist-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=276, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
