Ring of Time, Bronze sculpture at Standard Plaza entrance in Downtown Portland, United States.

Ring of Time is a bronze sculpture positioned at the intersection of Southwest 6th between Madison and Main streets in Portland's Transit Mall. The work stands roughly 3 meters tall and features an intricate geometric composition with interlocking forms and surface patterns.

Hilda Grossman Morris created this monumental bronze sculpture between 1965 and 1967 for Standard Insurance Company's art collection. The work was established as part of an effort to enhance public spaces in downtown Portland.

The allegorical work stands in the outer foyer of the Standard Plaza, a setting that puts a 3-metre bronze in the path of daily foot traffic on the Transit Mall. The Portland Tribune called it "rough" and "primitive", "chunky, clunky, big and funky", while Emporis counted it among the city's most admired sculptures.

Ring of Time stands in the outer foyer of the Standard Plaza, on Southwest 6th Avenue between Madison and Main streets, along the downtown Transit Mall. The entrance is at street level and can be reached on foot or by MAX light rail and bus lines running along the mall.

The bronze surface displays varying textures and patterns that shift in appearance depending on the time of day and light conditions. These visual changes result from the artist's careful surface treatment.
