Lynn Goodpasture's solar Illumination 1: Evolution of
Language (2008) on the Pearl road department Library consists of 4 art-glass
home windows located in the children's place and a suspended glass lamp near
the library front. The paintings's visible imagery refers to historical
alphabets as the inspiration of the written word, which in flip is fundamental
to libraries and illumination of the mind. each pane carries characters in
exclusive scripts which might be the idea for written Latin, Russian,
Vietnamese and some Indian languages. another vital however unseen factor to
the paintings is the use of photovoltaic cells embedded inside the 4 glass
panes that acquire solar electricity, supplying electricity to light the lamp.
