This All Happened More or Less

This All Happened More or Less is a 2014 outdoor public art installation by Crystal Schenk and Shelby Davis, located along Southeast Division Street in Portland, Oregon, United States.

This All Happened More or Less is a sculpture installation, and the first public art commission, by local artists Crystal Schenk and Shelby Davis.

The work consists of eight small bronze statues, or "characters", on large dolomite boulders quarried in the Pacific Northwest, "strategically" placed along Southeast Division Street, between 11th and 36th Avenues.

Schenk and Davis based the statues on the activities they observed on Southeast Division, and hoped pedestrians would "take their time to stroll along the street and discover all of the sculptures".

"[1] According to the Regional Arts & Culture Council, which administers the installation,[2] the work "can draw a viewer in close enough to imagine a story behind each of the figures that vary from active, such as a kid on a skateboard, to inactive, such as waiting for a bus or sitting quietly with a pet dog.
