From Here to Now

Bayview Station

Throughout Bayview station you’ll find twenty-four pieces. Start exploring and look for black swirls on the floors and walls. At first you might not recognize what they are, but keep moving, when you view these works from the right perspective you’ll have that A-Ha moment! You’ll often see a block of colour near the black illustration, shift your perspective until it starts to look like a square to view the piece from the right angle. Keep your eye out for a needle and spool, a tea cup, a cut apple, slices of lemon, a salt shaker. There are more treasures in store up the stairs.

The visual distortion, known as anamorphosis, shifts with the viewer’s position. The image seems distorted when seen from a frontal position but when viewed from one side or from an angle it resumes normal proportions. For a real treat view the images through the lens of your smartphone: they’ll appear as if in augmented reality – a ladder leaning against the wall, a stepladder, a pocket watch floating in the air, a dog waiting at the top of the stairs for its owner to come home.

The work heightens our awareness about movement and travel through these pedestrian spaces and infuses our experience with a sense of play. The pieces are made from waterjet-cut glazed ceramic tiles laid in the walls and floors, and based on free-hand black line drawings. The artist, Panya Clark Espinal, is a Toronto-based multi-media installation artist who has produced many public art commissions. Her pixelated interpretation of the famous Jack Pine painting by Tom Thomson is installed at Barberry Place, just a block from this station.
