About the project:
The project, entitled – "Hudson River Explorers" is inspired by this great river‘s majesty and eloquence, and informed by its rich history of discovery, exploration, and travel. "Hudson River Explorers" features 11 windows: 6 in the South Overpass corridor, and 5 in the North Overpass corridor at the MNR Tarrytown Station.
The scenes are fantastic, magically real, yet still naturalistic. From east to west, with color and subject, the windows create the experience of one day – from dawn to dusk. Creatures move through the landscape both above and below the water. The plants and animals depicted in the various windows are largely native species, many threatened or endangered, who guide an array of exotic visitors through the watery realm.
The Tarrytown project is fabricated in laminated glass by Tom Patti Design. Installation completed in August, 2012.
