Sky to Earth
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Sky to Earth rides the visual and experiential edges of all the light rail station site characteristics. The site is an intense sensory place framed by an expansive, open landscape on one side and by multiple freeway lanes on the other side. The artwork, generated from simple materials, was designed to create a shifting sense of presence from many speeds and angles - whether on foot, light rail or car. The sensory and physical undercurrents are noise, exposure to an immense sky creating shifts of scale and the ebb and flow of wind. Within this landscape, the artwork is a flowing, changing sculptural line that shifts between solid and transparent. It eccentrically owns and activates the site and the experiences of riding the train and using the station.
