At Toronto's Bayview subway
station, shadows of common objects such as apples and ladders silk
screened to the linoleum and walls framed by patches of colored tile
gives the place a surreal look. Panya Clark Espinal is the artist who
designed the art in the Bayview Station.
In
this installation created for the Toronto Transit Commission,
twenty-four hand-drawn images have been 'projected' onto the
architecture of the station so that when seen from the original location
of projection, the images are crystalized and realistic, but when seen
from other locations they appear to be abstractions.
These
images act as beacons, drawing the viewers along various paths of
movement. Depicting everyday objects and simple geometric shapes, the
images are rendered in an uncommonly large scale and in unusual
orientations, allowing one to interact playfully with them as one moves
through the space.
