Settlers Landing (RTA Rapid Transit Station) - Artwork

Artwork

The station includes eight etched glass panels created by local artist Martin Boyle. The panels join to make up windscreens to shield waiting riders at the outdoor station. Each of the panels, which measure 63 inches by 24 or 20 inches, have fine, detailed etchings of ships, canoes, early settlers in covered wagons and local waterways illustrating different local transportation eras. Each image is hand-drawn in a classical etching style and using a crosshatch technique. One illustration is a map of Cleaveland's route to the Cuyahoga.
