1. The Guardian

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."

13. Douglas Listening Room

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. (information provided by Ed Teague, Head of the University of Oregon's Architecture & Allied Arts Library. For more detail on Ethier's Luminated Manuscripts, please view http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~ehteague/staircase/ ) For an overview on the process behind the creation of this work, please view this page created by Ed Teague: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~ehteague/staircase/ethier.html, Linda Ethier; glass; 1995; U of O Knight Library, info@lindaethier.com, http://www.lindaethier.com/, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

He has taught all the sculpture courses in the Department from the intro level "Three Dimensional Design" to the more unusual courses such as "Art with a Function" and "Art with Four Legs." His work also deals with the third dimension from outdoor public commissions to smaller studio pieces. "Learning to be an artist is a very complex process. Learning to enjoy Art by trying to make it is also complex. Once it is started the process has to be practiced and explored - perhaps for a lifetime. As an Artist/Teacher I think it is important to share my studio trials and tribulations for art-making is always fun but rarely easy. It is also important to share the joys of this activity - those times when an idea in combination with carefully selected and worked materials yields a product I am proud to exhibit. It is also a joy to help students dig deeply into themselves, then to use all their energies and resourcefulness to create a work they never thought possible."

89. Early Russian Manuscripts

Early Russian Manuscripts

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. (information provided by Ed Teague, Head of the University of Oregon's Architecture & Allied Arts Library.
