James Garvey is an artist and a blacksmith. He created fourteen sculptural lariat seat loops for the 33rd Street station of the New York Subway system. Inspired by a lasso demonstration in a Will Rogers film clip, he created seat rests and hand holds that invite one to touch the thick ropes of bronze. Garvey sees labor intensive, one of a kind products as referencing a traditional work ethic recognized and practiced by many cultures throughout the world.
Now if they could just run hot water thru those pipes that would be great seat warmers for those NY cold winters.
ReplyDeleteGood idea, and cold water in the summer as the city heats up!
