"Oregon Wildlife," Pioneer Courthouse Square, Portland, Oregon, 1986
25 separate sculptures depicting various wildlife of Oregon installed on, in, and around a series of fountains located on both sides of the Pioneer Courthouse, on Yamhill and Morrison Streets between 4th and 5th streets in downtown Portland. The site lies along the route of the Banfield Light Rail System, and includes bears, deer, beavers, otters, and seals. Georgia received word of receiving the commission the day her daughter was born, and the work was installed nine months later. She is fond of saying that each of the two projects had the same gestation period. Many thanks to Thomas Augustine for securing this important commission. (Source: Georgia Gerber.com)
