DESCRIPTION:
As soon as one walks in the door of Rocky River Public Library it is clear that this institution holds a significant collection of artworks. Immediately on the left, one’s attention is drawn to the colorful three-panel fused glass work entitled Channels by Kathleen Manhattan and Skip Streeter of Streets of Manhattan, a versatile art studio devoted to innovative glass works located in downtown Cleveland’s renovated St. Josaphat Church. The combined image of three separate pieces represents energy moving upward and forward. The richly colored overlapping glass symbolizes the transfer of wisdom and knowledge through all the tangible aspects of Rocky River Library. Channels is a visual representation of the library as a center of wisdom, knowledge, and cutting-edge technology. Backlighting further dramatizes this piece, particularly at night.
