Home MenuLOVE FIELD PEDESTRIAN CONCOURSE, 2003
Artists: Philip Lamb & Susan Magilow
Location: Pedestrian Walkway to the Terminal
Description: The vinyl wall murals depict satellite pictures and photography of Texas. The background and the fins combine to produce a mural that one could see in flight. As the person travels along the moving walkways, images begin to morph or merge into one another, creating the same feeling one might experience in a plane.
The terrazzo floor map of the state of Texas is within a compass that has three sizes of aluminum dots locating all the cities in Texas. Accompanying the Texas map is a couple sets of eight aluminum arcs that list all of the dotted cities in alphabetical order, starting from the smallest arc and working its way outward from left to right.
About the Artists: Philip Lamb, also a Dallas artist, was commissioned as a design artist for the Dallas Convention Center 1994 Expansion, one of the first and largest public art projects initiated under the Dallas Public Art Program. He also served as design artist on two Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) stations, the White Rock Light Rail Station and the Addison Transit Center, and was the commissioned artist for the Union Station Light Rail Platform public art. Philip has received wide recognition as an exceptionally talented photographer who is able to translate his abilities into other mediums.
Susan Magilow is a Dallas artist who has exhibited her work in Metroplex galleries and international venues since 1981. She is an accomplished painter and also works with computer and video media. Magilow was a team artist for the design and construction supervision for the Akard Pacific Pedestrian Way, a pilot public art project initiated by the Dallas Public Works Department and the Office of Cultural Affairs in 1989, and completed in 1996.
