Originally completed in 1980 and remade in 2003, Triad was designed by Evelyn Franz, who received her Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture in 1976 from Portland State University. The abstract stainless steel sculpture was funded by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) and is installed between Southeast 37th Avenue and Southeast Ankeny in Laurelhurst Park. According to the Regional Arts & Culture Council, which administers the work, it measures 7 feet (2.1 m), 5 inches (13 cm) tall, 5 feet (1.5 m), 5 inches (13 cm) long and 2 feet (0.61 m), 5 inches (13 cm) wide .
