Artist makes use of horse rings in downtown Portland
- By KATU Photojournalist Julie Murray and KATU.com Web Staff
PORTLAND, Ore. - A Northwest artist is reviving a part of Portland's history by attaching figurines to horse rings in the downtown area. If you don't know what a horse ring is, Officer Greg Mack with the Portland Police Bureau's Mounted Patrol can explain. "The horse rings were put in years ago and when you came downtown, you tied your horse up to the ring and basically it was your parking meter so to speak," he says. The artist, Scott Wayne Indiana, says the project started with a trip to Goodwill where he picked up a bunch of toy horses for a buck a piece. "If I can kind of get everyone else to put them on the rings that are near them or by their house, it would be a cool characteristic of Portland," he says. If you would like to learn more about Indiana's horse project, you can head to his Web site. |
