Tom Stancliffe, Carousel 1996
Fabricated silicon bronze, three sculptures approx. 15h x 5 x 5 each for the Cedars Light Rail Station, Dallas Area Rapid Transit authority, Dallas, Texas. Commission awarded through a national competition sponsored by DART. The sculptures relate not only in form to the landscape design but are also intended to recall the evolution of the neighborhood from a cedar forest, to an elegant Victorian neighborhood, to a now light industrial district.
I like the angles from which you photographed the sculptures.
Thanks!
At the risk of sounding irreverent, these sculptures remind me of ice cream cones turned upside down. They are striking, though, and I get the point that the artist was making.
I wouldn’t worry about being irreverent towards a sculpture at a train station – and you’re right, they do look like upside down ice cream cones.They are actually a little more interesting from the train because you only get a glimpse.
Fantastic shots!
