Train Time 2002

Commissioned by NJ Transit this 12 x 12' stainless steel screen is 1/2" thick and weighs two tons. The shapes of dozens of objects from the history of train travel are incorporated in a pattern reminiscent of traditional American quilts.  Adjacent to the sculpture is a stainless steel plaque that identifies and provides the historical references for the images used in the sculpture.  

 

These images show textiles from around the world related to the design of the mural:
