Relief sculpture, fashioned from bronze, depicting various human figures, a door and a chair that illustrate a synthesis of both negative and positive space, of two and three dimensions, and of light and shadow. The interplay of light and dark created by the juxtaposition of two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes creates an illusion of discourse and discussion., 2006 YouTube interview with Montenegro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rJ_YcQeFi4, http://www.ernestmontenegro.com/, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

This piece is a quilted patchwork collage of photo-silkscreened imagery. It includes portions of a 1887 map of the state, engravings of county courthouses from Sheriff's letterheads, pieces of trademarks and labels, writing from an 1804 map of Lewis and Clark's route, a letter from the governor in 1869, and excerpts from a broadsheet offering a reward for the apprehension of men who deserted a schooner in 1846. The composition is suggestive of an old saloon stage with mounted photographs of recorded history dancing across a backdrop of the Oregon Territory. The stage is flanked by images of the trees, fish, and mountains that are so significant to this region.
