Above and below

Much of the art that you see around Portland is at eye level. But sometimes beauty can be found at great heights or under foot.

The quotes are carved into the bricks in front of Tiffany and Co.
The "Comic Faces" Are on the side of the same building.
Both of these works are public art projects commissioned by 2 different artists in 1991.

Along the stops for the new orange line max train are some stone poems.

And once your brain has had enough learning or reading ,you may enjoy the randomness of some small tiles in the middle of the sidewalk.

No matter where you look, you can find beauty. Enjoy a walk in your city by looking up and down ; and remember to find art in everything.
