South Bellevue Way at I90
“I wanted to send you a note on how much I enjoy your art work on the South Bellevue Park and Ride Light Rail Station. It's so bright with such vibrant colors! The artwork pops so much we don't have to look at the slough or nature reserve anymore, and brings me back to my childhood memories of living in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Thank you! ”

“Aurora Bright Dawn,” Seattle, WA
“Artist Vicki Scuri has transformed a drab piece of civic infrastructure—an aging pedestrian bridge that carries people across State Highway 99 in the Aurora-Licton neighborhood—into a dynamic gateway for the community. Visible from afar while traveling south or north down Aurora Avenue, “Bright Dawn” uses the energy of bright colors, translucent materials, and the repetition of forms to create a kaleidoscopic experience that changes throughout the day. The artwork has quickly become a source of identity and pride for the neighboring community, transforming an underwhelming experience to one that is joyful and colorful.”

Railroad Switch, Hagerstown, MD
“''Railroad Switch' is an integral and prominent part of the City’s new Cultural Trail that connects the downtown to City Park. In the planning stages, we knew we needed a means to screen the commercial area to the west from the Trail but a solid wall of standard fencing felt inadequate. The Artist Selection Committee for the project chose Vicki Scuri to develop a solution based on her work at WAM in Wichita, KS. This project is fabricated out of .375” weathering steel plate with the beautiful plasma-cut 'railroad switch' design that pays tributes to the railroad heritage of the corridor that the Trail traverses.   

“The panels were sandblasted and installed by City staff 'ready-to-rust,' upon delivery to the site. The final finish is an even, velvety texture. This project will be a landmark in the City for decades to come.”
