Artist’s Comments
2007 commemorates the 100th year of Portland, Oregon’s Rose Festival.
It seems appropriate to contrast the city… then and now.
Looking west on Burnside Street from the bridge into downtown,
a young girl of 1907 points to a trail of roses that indicates the passage of
100 years into the modern Portland and the ‘old lady that she has become.’
