Outlook

2018 Broadway (N, W) New York City Transit

Capturing the fleeting atmosphere of a moment in place, "Outlook" for the Broadway station is an imaginary, saturated, color-filled landscape that references the past and present of the neighborhood surrounding the elevated station in Astoria. The laminated glass artwork highlights the native flora in the area, and the deciduous woodlands, ponds, swamps, wetlands, meadows, and conifer forests that were once dominant features in the location. The palette choices for "Outlook" are inspired by the current colors visible in the neighborhood, including those found in the existing architecture, storefronts, restaurants and public spaces.

Diane Carr worked closely with Glasmalerei Peters Studios to translate her original landscape paintings into hand-painted glass to be integrated into the station facades and windows in the waiting area.
