Sky Within
Sound Transit Link Light Rail
McClellan Station - Seattle, Washington

Scheduled completion 2009

 

The location for the artwork at the station is in the end bays under the elevated guide way.  The concept is to use a combination of a painted surface with a series of chandeliers to create a contemporary grand corridor.  The artwork is an environment or atmosphere.  It bridges the gap between the architecture and the street.  The installation will provide amenities to the site by creating light, mood, and order.  It is a roof, a tent, a sky.  The piece referenced the formality of historical promenades, rooms, or gallerias but is comprised of modern abstracted elements. The painted surface will be up-lit with programmable led to create weather/color in the sky.  The LED lights are housed in the upturned cobra head surround.
