Bruce West’s Stainless Steel Cube
Watch the world rush by, reflected in Bruce West’s untitled polished stainless steel cube on the corner of State and Liberty streets. It’s hard to resist snapping a photo or two, to see what you can capture in the reflective surface.
The intersection of Chemeketa and Liberty streets is home to a trio of colorful pieces all within a hop, skip and a jump of one another.
Receptacle by Mel Katz
Receptacle by lauded Oregon artist Mel Katz, is a whimsical nine-foot tall sculpture exploring shape, and positive and negative space in vibrant primary colors.
Further west along Chemeketa Street are two murals, both added to the city’s collection in 2017.
Mirror Maze by Damien Gilley
In the alley by The Cozy Taberna, look for Mirror Maze by Damien Gilley – a mesmerizing interplay of lines and shapes. Experiment looking at the mural from different viewpoints to see if you can find the sweet spot where the mural snaps into perfect perspective.
Waldo Steward by Blaine Fontana
在毗邻的城市停车楼的电梯井中，您可以找到布莱恩·丰塔纳创作的《沃尔多守护者》；这座四层高的作品向塞勒姆最小的公园及其园内那棵如卫士般矗立的巨型红杉致敬，作品中布满了色彩斑斓的大喙啄木鸟。绚丽的色彩与俏皮的画面，让各年龄段的观众都乐在其中。
Breathing Post by Peter Beeman
顺道去位于贸易街旁的塞勒姆会议中心庭院逛逛，那里集中陈列着一组雕塑作品，其中包括彼得·比曼创作的动态雕塑《呼吸柱》；转动底座上的手柄，即可驱动上方的水平臂运动，使雕塑仿佛在飞翔。
Good Cents by Lillian Pitt and Saralynn and Mikkel Hilde
沿着普林格尔公园向东漫步，寻找由艺术家团队莉莉安·皮特、萨拉琳和米克尔·希尔德共同创作的雕塑《Good Cents》。这件抽象人物雕塑双臂张开，手中握着一枚五分硬币，采用再生玻璃制成，其设计灵感源自原住民篮筐纹样、岩刻和象形图。该作品是为庆祝俄勒冈州环境委员会成立50周年以及具有里程碑意义的《俄勒冈州瓶罐法案》而特别委托创作的。
