s’always nice catching the plague from colleagues at work…

would like this cough to take a flying leap out of the nearest window, though if Jaime Lannister actually came to do it personally I’d be extra chuffed. Either way, beginning to wonder if it’s possible to overdose on lemsips and flu tablets? Because I’ll need a stockpile the size of the bloody Wall for work tomorrow at this rate…someone come and supply me with unlimited cups of tea, please…?

Valley Stream Station // MTA Long Island Rail Road
Malin Abrahamsson: On the Trail of the Rising Sun, 2008
Glass and ceramic mosaic on West Stair Wall, Escalator Wall and Platform Waiting Room

At Valley Stream Station a series of mosaic works called On the Trail of the Rising Sun fills the new platform waiting room with works of calming color and charming vistas.

Portraying the skies and scenery of the area, Swedish-born and Brooklyn-based artist Malin Abrahamsson creates a broad swath of green bands punctuated with more detailed mosaics of local sights, such as a pair of Canadian Geese, a house, and the nearby clock tower.

Two other large mosaic panels hang above the west stairway and escalator, showing a pale blue sky with a touch of green at the bottom, a seagull in flight, and floating clouds. The works bring to commuters a painter’s sensibility with views of the rolling lawns and shrubs of the close-by suburbs, under expansive skies.
