Site-specific public art features at the MTA Orange Line, Balboa Station, in Los Angeles, CA
This public artwork features terrazzo paving at platforms, porcelain steel art panels at each station entry, sculpted seating and landscaping elements. The images incorporate elements taken from high altitude aerial photography and from landsat satellite sources. A person in transit can enjoy the artwork from the point of view of abstraction and delve into the mapping to discover that it actually derives from the area they are transiting through.
