  • Guide to Art: Sounder Commuter Rail
    Sounder commuter rail Art adds interest and meaning to public places. Art celebrates the history, culture and people of a community. Art tells a story. The Sound Transit art program, STart, brings an artist’s perspective to what is mainly an engineering and architectural undertaking. Many aspects of the Sound Transit system of buses and trains are transformed by art. Community representatives help select the artists and approve the artwork. ALL STATIONS Artist-designed “Welcome Mats” serve as door markers on the station platforms. The “Welcome Mats” mark where the commuter train doors open when the train pulls into the station. The “Welcome Mat” design was derived from a late 1800’s quilt pattern called “Railroad Quilt.” KING STREET STATION The Sounder station canopy support columns feature 26 stainless steel and aluminum wind-activated sculptures. A series of articulated metal strips hanging from the pivoting vane “Welcome Mats” at a Sounder allows the artwork to not only reveal the direction of the wind but also its shape. “The brushed surface station designed by artist Jerry Mayer of the metal reflects the colors of the sky and the nearby buildings. The metaphor is one of passage, glints of light reflecting from a field of metallic grass.” Artist Ned Kahn. “Moto/motor/to move/motion- that’s the starting point”, says Jerry Mayer of his artwork “Moto,” traffic- type 4’x4’ signs covered in a range of colorful reflective material. These are attached to sixteen columns opposite the 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.
