  • Artwork Statement

    I spent a Sunday morning traveling around the Montréal Metro system, investigating the different designs of the metro stations, as each one in the city is unique from the rest. I traveled to stations I rarely visited, and when I pulled into this station, it immediately struck me as an interesting clash of lines and outlandish bench designs. The almost throne-like appearance of the bench is in immediate competition with the strong horizontal lines of the bricks behind it as well as the diamond-tiles of the floor. Opened in 1988, it’s a testament to the “over-design” of the 1980s and would undoubtedly never be designed like this today. That’s not meant to detract from the design, but rather to suggest that it’s a snapshot of a different design aesthetic where function took more of a backseat to showmanship.
