Where Dreams Come To Play

2018 Wantagh (Babylon) Long Island Rail Road

Marc Dennis' project at the LIRR Wantagh station depicts scenes of an idyllic and imaginative day at nearby Jones Beach. These scenes include colorful and realistic images of birds, beachgoers, sunsets, and seashells, along with regional symbols, such as the local high school mascot and Jones Beach's iconic seahorse. Highly detailed individual paintings were made for the project and translated into glass artwork for the windows of the station. In addition to the 30 laminated glass windows within the platform level waiting room, a pair of mosaic panels at two main stairways highlight ocean waves seen under a rising and setting sun.
