Untitled with Sky, 2010

Faceted glass in windscreen of the station platform; Glass mosaic sculptural seats in plaza area

Untitled with Sky explores the boundaries between illusion - six faceted glass windows and twelve sculptural seats clad in mosaic that depict a beautiful sky as it changes from morning to evening - and "truth," - the actual sky as it appears on either side of the art glass. Created in swirling, curved shapes in a variety of blues, purples, and rose, the work brings color and brightness to the platform where commuters wait for their morning train. The sculptural seats echo the contours and color of the windows and provide an amenity for Metro-North customers.
