502. Snake River System
Snake River System
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."
