Terra Incognita, Public sculpture at Broadway Bridge, Portland, US
Terra Incognita spans 40 feet in length and features five cubes constructed from bundled tree trunks and stacked stones, reaching 15 feet in height.
Israeli artist Ilan Averbuch created and installed this steel, wood, stone, and copper sculpture in 1995 at the intersection of North Broadway and Larrabee Avenue.
The Regional Arts and Culture Council maintains this sculpture, which incorporates elements representing both natural and constructed Portland environments within its design.
Located at the base of Broadway Bridge in Portland's Rose Quarter, this outdoor installation creates a gateway structure visible to pedestrians and vehicles.
Three cubes formed from tree trunks alternate with two stone-stacked cubes to establish a distinct positive-negative pattern within the composition.
