Identical wonder twins, Doug and Mike Starn, are about to unveil their installation, See It Split, See It Change, underground at the new South Ferry station.

From the press release:

Sandra Bloodworth, Director of MTA Arts for Transit said, “The Starns’ installation is brilliant in its simplicity and clarity as it captures the historic context of the new South Ferry Terminal. Viewed from the southern tip of the island the work compares and contrasts the veins and arteries of the natural world to the routes and lines of the transportation system, the similarities are stunning. Likewise, the flanking silhouetted trees are portrayed in fused glass that powerfully evokes the Park at the Battery - in breath-taking beauty.”
