He joined the department in 1974 after receiving his MFA from the University of Colorado-Boulder. 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."

Wind Fence
Description
"Wind Fence," the sculpture, consists of seven sections of wind-animated panels, approximately 10 feet square. The panels are composed of thousands of small anodized aluminum elements that are hinged to move freely in the wind. The panels are mounted onto a series of 8-inch diameter stainless steel poles that are connected by a framework of 2 1/2 inch stainless square tubing. The poles are embedded into concrete footings that are 2 feet in diameter and about 8 feet deep. The overall shape of the fence traces out a gentle arc that sweeps towards the north entrance to the building and extends back into the grove of trees to the east. The intent of the artwork is to reveal the invisible passage of wind through the fence. The curve of the fence echoes the curved facade of the architecture.

Thesaurus Linguae Grecae
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.
