		The hammered copper statue of Portlandia, kneeling with her trident, was designed by artist, Raymond Kaskey.

		Kaskey used the seal of the City of Portland as a basis for the 36-foot tall Portlandia’s design.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: The Sky Line
		The words “here we mark the price of freedom” are engraved in a low stone panel in front of the wall, but the dead are not identified by name, and there are no images of war anywhere in the memorial, except in some small decorative basreliefs by the sculptor Raymond Kaskey.
		The bronze eagles, which were designed by Kaskey, are beautifully wrought, and the stonework—the memorial is built of silvery granite from South Carolina and Georgia—is stunning in its execution.
		In an age when cheap, thin veneers pass for real stonework, it is pleasing to see stone that has been treated like stone, and carved by craftsmen who know what they are doing.

		The dramatic forward motion of his 1994 bronze figure of Justice, perched on the facade of a federal courthouse in Alexandria, catches one’s attention from a great distance, animating an otherwise humdrum urban space.
		In commemorating September 11, we could do worse—a lot worse—than erecting a great civic temple to the memory of the event, one adorned by a figure akin to Kaskey’s, though equipped, perhaps, with a sword of vengeance rather than scales of justice.
		Members of today’s classical counterculture realize that attempts to invent an artistic language from a blank slate almost always result in failure.
