Moto - Jerry Mayer (2004)
Four-foot square traffic-type signs covered in a range of colorful reflective material are attached to sixteen columns opposite the Sounder commuter rail platform. Each sign/artwork has imagery of a simple black shape made up of a combination of traffic sign symbols from arrows, crosses, ‘Y’s and ‘T’s. These shapes have a subtle figurative quality. When seen together, the signs suggest movement in both directions. “Moto/motor/to move/motion- that’s the starting point,” says Mayer. "Let people’s imagination take it from there.”
Windvanes - Ned Kahn (2000)
The station canopy support columns are crowned with a series of twenty-six stainless steel and aluminum wind-activated sculptures. Articulated metal strips hanging from the pivoting vanes allow the artwork to not only reveal the direction of the wind, but also its shape.
