Host Analog, Environmental sculpture at Oregon Convention Center, Portland, US
The Host Analog sculpture incorporates an eight-foot-diameter Douglas fir log with an integrated stainless steel irrigation system releasing mist every fifteen minutes.
The 500-year-old Douglas fir tree used in this sculpture fell during the 1960s winds and remained in the Bull Run watershed until artist Buster Simpson discovered it in 1990.
This outdoor installation demonstrates the connection between urban development and forest ecosystems through the regeneration of indigenous and non-native plants.
Located at 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, the sculpture provides educational signage explaining the transformation of the log since its 1991 installation.
The sculpture features panoramic documentation spanning nine years, showing the progression of plant growth and natural changes around the repurposed log.
