Untitled (Carpenter)
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.

2. Luminous Glass Floor
Luminous Glass Floor
Description
The Casey Eye Institute building is situated on a steep, inclined site above the City of Portland. The main entrance of the building is inset below and behind a white, metal panel facade that appears to float in front of the primary building facade. The Glass Floor serves as the boundary separation between the main building and the extended portion of the two storey high entry atrium above the main entrance. The Glass Floor, in conjunction with vertical glass side windows and an overhead clear skylight, define a wrapping boundary of light and transparency. The floor panels consist of two fully tempered sheets of 1/2" glass, a chemically strengthened sheet of solar collecting glass and multiple colored interlayers which comprise a 1-3/8" thick panel of essentially bullet resistant glass to withstand the structural requirements of the site. In particular, the Glass Floor distinguishes itself by respecting the simplicity of the architecture and establishing a bold color to the otherwise monochromatic setting. The use of one color, a rich luminescent aquamarine blue, reflects and transmits its hue both into the atrium and down onto the. main entry. The floor changes at different times of the day and night depending upon the angle of the sum and upon the use of artificial lighting. This aspect of changing qualities of color and luminosity is further enhanced by seeing from below the movement of people across the translucent floor. As viewed and experienced from the interior, the floor provides a sense of depth with muted shadows and highlights of the ground below. A brightness and translucency of surface is enhanced by the use of a textured, light collecting glass. The Glass Floor is a plane that subtly mediates between the exterior and interior of the building. It is a surface which has a life on its own through ever changing levels of transparency, translucency and luminosity. The. Glass Floor is a work which brings life, animation and color to the Casey Eye Institute.

6. Individual Powers
Individual Powers
Description
Inspiration for both sculputral form and text is the concept that each individual citizen does make a difference; that in government as well as in society the "whole" is measured by the sum of its parts. Quotations about importance of th eindividual's role in goverment and in society are etched into mosaic, sometimes bridging more than one section so that a viewer must hunt for the connecting text. Front Entry: 3 Sections--Sculpture in front of the building invites the viewer to sit for a moment and ask: "What is this about?" "Where can I find more information?" The color and dramatic shapes, located to the right of entry, counterbalance the canopy. Back Patio: 5 sections--These colorful, randomly-strewn puzzle pieces enliven the back patio and encourage the viewer to linger, to sit and connect with others, or to come down from second story and investigate., http://www.hkmeehan.com/; http://kathleenmeehan.com/, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
