The completion of the work to rehabilitate seven stations along the D Line in Brooklyn was marked on August 2, 2012, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by MTA leaders and local elected officials.

We installed great new artwork at each of the seven stations. Here are details for the artwork shown in this image and its location.

79th Street Station - Artist: Susanna Starr Title: A Continuous Thread Date: 2012 Medium: Laminated glass Location: Platform windscreens Fabricator: Depp Glass, Inc.

Entitled A Continuous Thread, Susanna Starr’s artwork was inspired by the lace doily that has particular significance to the predominant Italian-American community in the neighborhood. These colorful laces evoke the sense of home and belonging and also reference other traditional handcrafts and cultures in the neighborhood such as Chinese paper cuts and Latin American textiles. In the medium of glass, the work will be fabricated in layers to provide physical dimension and depth. The layered laces shift and change as seen from different angles, the platform, and the street level.
