Location: Sheppard-Yonge station, subway platform
Date photo taken: 28 April 2014
This rural view is one small portion of a large wrap-around artwork created on the Sheppard subway platform by artist Stacey Spiegel. Taken all together the images represent the varied landscapes to be found along Yonge Street as it stretches from Lake Ontario to North Bay. The image looks pixelated because it is a mosaic - 1,500,000 small porcelain tiles were used to create the range of landscapes. When viewed up close the scenes can be hard to decipher but when viewed at a distance, say from the opposite platform, the images are clear.
