Commissioned by Security Properties, for Heartline Apartments in Portland, Our Past Was Writ in Water is a welcoming beacon for neighborhood residents, retailers, and visitors. Some segments of this outdoor sculpture resemble board-formed concrete behind it; other segments cast soft shadows. Images of cobblestone, asphalt, and trolley rails are drawn into glass, to connect to site history in the city’s northwest quadrant.
