DESCRIPTION: station art installation of three wall-mounted digital printed image mosaic murals
To enhance the conceptual approach to his station art installation, Veca hosted an event at a gallery near the future station where attendees shared memories and objects connected to the history of the future Wilshire / La Brea station's area. Kaleidoscope patterns and images of bubbling tar, barley fields, and community stories can be seen throughout the murals.
Artist's statement: “Tar is inextricably linked with the identity of the Miracle Mile and Hancock Park. As the trains will be traveling underground through tunnels that have been dug in and around ancient tar deposits, my surreal artwork will acknowledge the reality of the surrounding geology.” - MetroArt
