Trio is an outdoor 2013 art installation by Seattle artist Elizabeth Conner, installed at the MAX Orange Line's Lincoln Street/Southwest 3rd Avenue MAX Station in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Description

[edit]

Trio consists of three abstract, mixed metal sculptures inspired by the work of choreographer Anna Halprin and architect Lawrence Halprin.[1] The pieces range in height from 9–12 feet and 2–5 feet in width. Conner has said of the series: "In designing sculptures for this space, I considered the Halprins' radical advocacy for a wide range of participation in spaces that are truly public. 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."[1]
