Trio is an outdoor 2013 art installation by Seattle artist Elizabeth Conner, installed at the MAX Orange Line's Lincoln Street/Southwest 3rd Avenue MAX Station in Portland, Oregon, United States.
Description
Trio consists of three abstract, mixed metal sculptures inspired by the work of choreographer Anna Halprin and architect Lawrence Halprin.{{cite web|title=Major public art installations at two future light rail stations|url=http://news.trimet.org/2013/11/major-public-art-installations-at-two-future-light-rail-stations/|publisher=TriMet|access-date=September 12, 2015|date=November 22, 2013|first=May|last=Fetsch|archive-date=April 2, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180402101552/http://news.trimet.org/2013/11/major-public-art-installations-at-two-future-light-rail-stations/|url-status=dead}} The pieces range in height from 9–12 feet and 2–5 feet in width. Conner has said of the series: "In designing sculptures for this space, I considered the Halprins' radical advocacy for a wide range of participation in spaces that are truly public. My artwork for this space is a respectful reference to the ephemeral nature of traveling from one place to another, with a glimpse of movement, light and shadow, out of the corner of the eye."
