Gilded River


Gilded River was made by Ken McCall, Mark Baltes, and Leslie Dixon in 2017. Gilded River features ten stylized aspen trees at 22′ tall with hundreds of colorful kinetic leaves that spin and sway in the breeze and cast shadows across the roundabout. The artisic team says, “Gilded River was designed especially for Bend and celebrates nature and how it influences our lives here in the Northwest.”
