Inglewood CA Series: Metro Collection 1-10
Artist
Kim Schoensstadt
About the Project
Inglewood CA Series is Kim Schoenstadt’s public art for Inglewood’s Fairview Heights station. Her work on elevated panels holds images of existing and historical buildings in and near Inglewood, including the historic Centinela Adobe, Jet Car Wash, LAX Airport Theme Building and Randy’s Donuts. Redrawn as silhouettes in overlapping gray, gold, turquoise and orange hues, the artwork challenges viewers to identify the architecture. Schoenstadt writes, “My goal is to feed the curiosity of visitors and perhaps teach them something new about the city they are living in or riding through.”
