To Think We Came all this Way
Description
The line from a poem by Vern Rutsala, an Oregon poet, was selected by Sandra Stone to appear in the glass panel: "To think that we came all this way, risked everything, used our bodies for plows, and arrived here with these lives." The image is taken from an early photograph taken at the turn of the century showing pioneers walking across a train trestle. (information from OAC documentation) This particular image of the stained glass/wall artwork appears to be taken during the installation process. There is evidence of tape and floor coverings. A circle of wire or twine is on the floor., Liz Mapelli; To Think We Came All This Way; Fused and enameled glass; 5x16 feet; 1990; archives, http://www.palmdesertartistregistry.com/liz_mapelli.htm, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

45. Women Studies
Women Studies
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.

48. Auditorium Glass Areas
Auditorium Glass Areas
Description
Working closely with John Rogers and the architect was Portland glass artist Howard Meehan who is the corporate design manager for Tektronix. The two 10 foot by 15 foot glass areas in the auditorium reference Rogers' wall relief and reflect the artist's interest in aerial views of the earth. As a Vietnam Veteran, Meehan felt strongly about the new building. His imagery echoes the topography of the Asian European theaters, and the translucent sandblasted areas also make the movement of traffic on Summer Street. Color was introduced by glass rods fused to the inside of each of the interior panels before they were sealed for thermal insulation. Meehan was assisted in this work by glass fabricator Tim O'Neil.
