Photographs of Woodside and its residents make up these two mural-montages by John Cavanagh in the Woodside - 61st St subway station. Both murals spell out "Woodside" using letters based on neighborhood sites. The murals reflect the contrasts present in this city neighborhood, from the rushing train overhead to the pleasant street life below. In another scene, the artist juxtaposes children playing in the park with adults commuting into the city. The portrayal of the community is offered to Woodside, in Cavanaghs's words, "to provoke, stimulate, console, strengthen, and enjoy." An MTA Arts for Transit project.
