- Biographical Information
- The clerestory windows above the grand stairs look down on the interior street and across at the two levels of the library. The clerestory and the skylight flood this central space with light. My stained glass panels add a subtle detail of decoration to the clerestory, offering small areas of color and texture. The most prominent glass I've used is the Dichroic glass which changes color in various light conditions, appearing magenta against the strong light of the sky while at the same time appearing green on the exterior. These colors reverse at night. Dichroic glass also has strong refractive qualities and I would expect to see projections of these pieces on the white walls on sunny days. In addition, each circle of Dichroic glass is paired with a small piece of beveled glass which will also project color. The large areas of French opal white glass also change markedly in different light conditions. Against the bright sky, these pieces will "opalesce" and take on a bronze tone. Against a darker background or in reflected light at night, they will appear paper white. Because this is primarily a transition space, most people who notice the glass will not see all these effects that happen over time. For them the glass might give some quiet assistance to their passage. Students and faculty who use the stairs and corridor frequently and especially those who use the library stacks, I hope, will notice the changes and begin to look for them. Not enough to distract them from their study, but perhaps causing a pause for delight. (Mollica, 1999)
