The sculpture measures 11 feet (3.4 m) long and is made of hand forged and welded bronze. Seattle Post-Intelligencer said of the sculpture and its relation to the city: "There is much in the way of art there and one cannot get a bad coffee, beer or glass of wine there. People there are friendly and not above being whimsical, perhaps this is why Keith Jellum's installation found a home in Portland?"[1]
