When our light rail system was first opened back in 2008, it was agreed that every station would have public art. A team of artists and city engineers were assembled to assess where to place the art and how large it should be. This piece called Landmark is the largest and was placed at the Central Avenue and Camelback Road station because it offered the most amount of land to place something this large. The sculpture is by Ilan Averbuch, a sculptor from New York. Averbuch also served on that original team developing the concept of art at every station. This piece consists of a 24 foot circle of desert stone with steel and stone abstract figures that cross though the circle in an endless march. This piece has always made me think of that old TV show called "Stargate". Remember that one?

It does remind me of people rushing by on their way to somewhere important!
It makes me think of people with bags over their heads walking around blindly. :)
