Art en Route: "Moving Over"
Mixed media/polished terrazzo, 1994
Artist: Buster Simpson, Seattle, Washington
Buster Simpson created sculptural seating for three stations on the Omni leg of Metromover. His platform benches have been crafted as a remnant from the street below. The curb on the street traditionally has been, in the face of no alternative, public seating. By elevating the curb and reinterpreting its customary materials and texture in polished terrazo, it is placed in a new context: one to be sat upon and studied. The artist incorporated Hurricane Andrew debris inlaid into the terrazo with gestures of mangrove roots - symbolizing a rebirth, and expressing the exuberance of Miami's culture.
