Artist Jane Guthridge frequently uses materials through which light bends, transforming as it bounces back. Matte Dura-Lar, a polyester film, is utilized in her Light Forms series. It is naturally translucent, allowing for the absorption of light through the material. The shapes are based on patterns of shadows, light, and leaves on the ground.

The Fine Arts Collection consists of artwork acquired for the City of Littleton's public art collection, or art portfolio. The collection includes permanent installations in City-owned public parks and buildings, as well as a large collection of rotating artworks which are only available for exhibition in City-owned buildings, such as the Littleton Center, Bemis Public Library, Littleton Court House, and the Littleton Museum. Artworks in the Rotating Collection are exhibited for short terms in order to avoid light damage, pest infestation, vandalism, etc., as well as to freshen up public spaces on occasion. When on display, the Rotating Collection artworks are located indoors and may not be accessible during evening or weekend hours.
