Description
This heavily patinaed sculptural form consists of a rectangular base that supports an inverted trapezoidal form ornamented with three unique groupings of symbols where the longer sides of the trapezoid depict different images and the shorter sides depict the same images. In this contextual view from the north side, two of the four sides are visible. The longer side depicts an eye form in the center, surrouned by a fish form, what appears to be a beaver form, and a bird form. The shorter side presents an eye form with two hands below it., The Gaurdian; Mark Sponenburgh; east and north side; Veterinary Hosp. (OSU), "To Sponenburgh, art and nature glorify one another. Their relationship has marked his sculpture over the decades, in his animals and natural phenomena - the mounds of a cumulus cloud, the arc of a wave and the frosty dignity of an owl carved from Douglas fir - that some think will be his enduring legacy."

Description
A round, stained glass piece. The center of the circle is divided into a pattern of squares and rectangles, some of which contain smaller circles and a free-form pattern that unites discreet sections. The squares in the design are a rusty, orange color, which breaks up the otherwise black, gray, or clear glass., Ed Carpenter; State Capitol, http://www.edcarpenter.net/profile/EdCarpenter_resume.pdf, http://www.edcarpenter.net/home/home.html, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

Douglas Listening Room
Description
Decorative step lights were envisioned for the circular staircase which serves as a focal point for the south end of the library. In 1990, three glass artists -- John Rose, Linda Ethier, and Liz Capelli -- were invited to make a proposal for the design and fabrication of cast glass sculptures to decorate (and illuminate) these stairs. In 1991, Ethier, of Portland, Oregon, was selected for the project, and in response to the selection committee’s suggestions, she used collections unique to Knight Library as the inspiration for her final designs. Ethier’s completed work, entitled Luminated Manuscripts, consists of 15 glass panels installed on the guardrails of the three flights of stairs that comprise what is now called the Solari Staircase. This staircase is named for Mary Corrigan Solari, a 1946 UO graduate, and her husband, Richard Solari, who contributed to the Knight Library expansion project. Initially installed in November, 1992, the glass sculptures were adjusted with filters in August 1993 to enhance their appearance. The panels depict a variety of figures and objects associated with library collections, and several images are based on recommendations from library staff. Thus these illuminated panels represent a unique collaboration resulting in art about the library: its environment, collections, and the people it serves.
