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.
