- Description
- The gate panels depict a moment in time showing the life cycle of a forest scene in Oregon. Plant forms are representative of different parts of Oregon. A theme of birth through death is represented by an old half dead pine and a new sapling, spring flowers, and a stream flowing through to provide nourishment.

- Biographical Information
- These gates were designed to contrast with the architecture and complement the function of the building in which they are places. Through the use of ancient vegetative life-cycle symbolism and water as nourisher and sustainer of life, I've tried to connect the recorded lives in the Archives with the natural surroundings that nurtured them and without which the current cycles would not be possible. (Chabre, 1991)
