Permanent installation by Darren Almond at the new Bond Street Station, London
"The new station contains three artworks by British artist Darren Almond: ‘Horizon Line’, ‘Shadow Line’ and ‘Time Line’. The artworks resemble the embossed metal nameplates that were affixed to early British locomotives and were made by the same heritage sign company that made many of the boilerplates for locomotives of the past. ‘Horizon Line’ consists of 144 individual hand-polished tiles echoing paths of travellers as they descend underground whilst ‘Shadow Line’ and ‘Time Line’ are train boiler plates bearing poetic phrases ‘REFLECT FROM YOUR SHADOW’ and ‘FROM UNDER THE GLACIER’ respectively. The three abstract artworks will be found on the ceiling and around the western ticket hall of the Elizabeth line station".
