Allerton Mandalas

The abstract patterns seen in Michele Brody's faceted glass art are based on subway lines that run from the Bronx through Manhattan to Brooklyn, as represented graphically on the MTA subway map. In the first stage of the work, Brody extracted the red and green lines and transformed them through a process of extrapolating, twisting, turning, and layering them. The final product, in faceted-glass, captivates the viewer's attention with interlocking streams of colors. An MTA Arts for Transit Project.
