corridor project: directions to the ross island table

here are the directions to the 18 foot table we installed on ross island. the table is rather pretty - and smartly designed by my beloved friend and artist mark lakeman. if you head out to the island please let us know. it is in a no-trespass zone - not the most scenic setting if you like "pretty" - but it is a powerful place to consider the city of portland, its charms and a couple of its dirty secrets. the lagoon in the center of ross island is none other than a 200 foot deep hole in the willamette river - quite literally the negative space that built much of the city - and much of the structure of the interstate 5 - and in the process tragically degraded the river.
