Atilt, Sundra and Garden Gate were made by Mel Katz in 2002. The three pieces in this installation are in the iconic Katz style or, in other words, intentionally do not address the question, “What does it mean?” Katz invites viewers to invent their own stories of his pieces, which are based on pure design. Oregonian reporter Grace Kook-Anderson commented on the “human scale” of his public works, saying, “Their curves and colors offer an invitation to come close, to delight in their arrangements. They do not tower over viewers, but rather stand alongside.”
