Permanent artwork installed
"The Dawn of Magic," by Laurie dill-Kocher, is on permanent display in the circulation area of Pattee Library on the University Park campus.
A gift from Michael and Cynthia Evanisko made it possible for the University Libraries to commission this fiber art through a national search conducted in 2001 by the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts.
The work, spanning more than 350 square feet, is made up of 24 panels, weighing between 24 and 40 pounds each and woven with three-ply Paternayan Persian wool, a wool commonly used in repairs of fine tapestries. For information on the artwork, call (814) 865-3063.
