Two major public art sculptures were installed last month at two of the
future Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail stations.
by: PHOTO COURTESY: TRIMET - Mixed-metal sculptures, collectively titled 'Trio,' are installed at the Lincoln St./SW 3rd Ave. Station in downtown Portland.
Artist's statement: “My artwork for this space is a respectful reference to the ephemeral nature of traveling from one place to another, with a glimpse of movement, light and shadow, out of the corner of the eye.”
TriMet’s policy allocates 1.5 percent of every light-rail project’s civil construction budget toward public art, so about $3 million of this project’s overall budget of $1.49 billion is dedicated to art.
The round sculpture is 28 feet in diameter, and it’s the first time this type
of fabrication has been used on a TriMet light-rail art project.

Sayre and team were assisted by PMLR’s East Segment General Contractor Stacy and Witbeck.
