Companions (1995)

Mineko Grimmer

DESCRIPTION:   station art consisting of 
  • cast bronze sculptures
  • sculptural polished granite seating (chairs and benches)


Artist's Statement:  “These figures are meant to be understood on different levels. They can appear to be companions to take along on a mental journey or to greet on the return. Upon catching a glimpse of his/her distorted reflection in the sculptures, the commuter may realize that however familiar we are to ourselves we may appear odd to others. Such a realization can be the first step to broadening our appreciation of the variety of ethnicities and lifestyles within our community and the world.”  -- Mineko Grimmer|MetroArt
