Description: Fountain of the Northwest is a welded assemblage of bold cast bronze shapes evocative of the rocks, forests, and waterfalls of the Northwestern terrain. Conduits carry water throughout the sculpture, which has been tapped into at multiple points to create a cloak of spraying, gushing, and cascading water around the sculpture and into the fountain basin.
