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.

Description
"Sampo" is a mysterious object often referred to in the mythological songs of the Finnish. According to the artist, the sampo is forged by the creator-smith Ilmarinen for Louhi, the hag-goddess of the underwold, to be used to harvest crops. This is Imonen's interpretation of that mythological machine. The mammoth cedar logs in the sculpture were salvaged from a forest fire near Roseburg. The steel used is also recycled in that it was purchased as a "second," --purchased but never used by the original buyer.
