Stainless Steel Fence

In Chicago train station. Artist: Béatrice Coron

This project aims to plant seeds of thought. Icons of growth and transformation take root in the past to transform our future. In the center panel, young children are watering the city, representing hope for the future. The side panels reflect the importance of education and literacy as the open books at the bottom of the pages sprout with plants, symbolizing human growth.

Béatrice Coron was born in France and currently lives and works in New York City. Coron is traditionally a paper-cutting artist. Her paper-cutting techniques were translated into a stainless steel work for this project as well as a commission for the City of New York. Her work is collected in both the United States and Europe.
