- Description
- This large, outdoor installation sculpture combines metals and machine-like parts in a way that kinetically interacts with the elements., Snake River Correct. Inst.; Patrick Zentz; Slide 5, About the artist and artwork: "For the past many thousands of years the natural elements have shaped and molded the landscape along the Snake River. The rolling wind-swept land on the Oregon side of the river was probably less attractive to the trekkers on the great westward migration than the promised Eden at the end of the trail. Nevertheless some did stop and settle. They raised livestock and crops, and developed towns and villages along the water courses. They laid out their ranches to take advantage of natural shelter from the prevailing winds and to conserve moisture. All of these factors and more were taken into consideration by Patrick Zentz as he created the design for 'Snake River System,' a large kinetic sculpture placed on the roadside leading into the Snake River Correctional Institution. This correctional facility was completed in 1992 and is located north of the City of Ontario not far off Interstate 84 in Oregon's Treasure Valley. Mr. Zentz stated that observations of contempory life in the Ontario area, 'its geography, economics, and social fiber,' were major influences in the sculpture's design and function. Patrick further states that the work is complete only when you are on the pathway and can hear the gravel underfoot, the wind converted into sound through the 42 pipes set in the center of the piece, and see the wind vane not only give apparent wind direction but provide physical force to drive wind through the pipes to create music while the entire piece reflects the surrounding ranch lands and horizons. To experience this sculpture take I-84 north from Ontario to Stanton Road; go west on Stanton aprox.1 1/2 miles to the prison access road on the left. The sculpture is on the left at the top of the rise. Please park in the lot next to the artwork and enjoy."

- Description
- This fountain consists of a concrete stair that holds several large boulders. The water cascades down the stairs, around the boulders, and fills a small pool at the bottom., Alice Wingwall is a blind artist. She suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary degenerative disease of the eye. She relies to a great deal on her other senses in envisioning her art, and designed the fountain in the courtyard by the sounds water makes when falling on rocks. Wingwall earned an M.F.A. in sculpture from UC Berkeley and was a professor of sculpture and director of the studio arts program at Wellesley College. She has explored many different mediums, and she trained in stained-glass fabrication in Paris. She co-directed a film with Wendy Snyder MacNeil titled ""Miss BlindSight/The Wingwall Auditions,"" which won Best Independent Film at the 25th anniversary New England Film and Video Festival., http://www.kqed.org/arts/people/spark/profile.jsp?id=4133, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
