You Are Here (sculpture)

You Are Here is an outdoor 2012 bronze sculpture by American artist Ron Baron, installed at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Ron Baron's You Are Here was completed and installed in the northeast courtyard of Providence Park (then known as Jeld-Wen Field) in downtown Portland in 2012.

The hard rain fell, the drenched crowd cheered, chants were sung and the log round was raised in glory.

Inspired by what I'd witnessed, the idea for You Are Here crystallized and realization that I wanted to create an artwork that honored this ritual and the rich local history underfoot.

[1]Furthermore, he said of the sculpture: You Are Here pays homage to the chronology of events that have taken place within this historic stadium and the Goose Hollow neighborhood over the past 150 years.

The artist was inspired to create You Are Here after seeing Timber Joey slice off a log round like the one he is seen carrying here (2012).
