The Dreamer, Bronze sculpture in Pettygrove Park, Portland, US
The outdoor sculpture shows a reclining woman figure made of muntz bronze, creating an abstract form positioned on a geometric base in a water pool.
Manuel Izquierdo created this bronze sculpture in 1979 with funding from the Portland Development Commission for installation in downtown Portland's Pettygrove Park.
The Regional Arts & Culture Council maintains this public art piece as part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection.
Located at Southwest 3rd Avenue between Market Street and Harrison Street, the sculpture functions as both an artwork and fountain within the park.
The sculptor filled the bronze structure with foam material to produce gentle kettledrum sounds when rain falls upon its surface.
