Pasadena Stations

Of the first 13 Gold Line stations built by the Construction Authority in 2003, the city of Pasadena is home to six. Traveling north, the Fillmore Station sits in the heart of Pasadena's up and coming biotechnology corridor and is two blocks from Huntington Memorial Hospital. The line continues to Del Mar Station and Memorial Park Station. Both stations are two blocks from Old Town Pasadena’s shopping, theaters and some of the finest cuisine in Southern California as well as the home of the annual Tournament of Roses Parade route. Memorial Park Station is walking distance to the city's landmark City Hall. The final three stations are located in the median of the I-210 Freeway.

Artist Statement

“The tower serves to identify the entrance to the station platform and provides an animated and engaging visual interpretation of time and culture, combining artifacts and symbols both natural and manufactured, interlinked and mutually dependent. The tower can be interpreted as a meditation on the evolving nature of geology, time, language, habitat, and culture.”

Del Mar Station Art

About the Artist

Ries Niemi participated in one of the first artist design team projects in the country—the Creston Nelson Substation—in Seattle, WA in 1979. Since then, he has created many public artworks, including projects for the Anacortes Public Library in WA; Mariner’s Baseball Stadium, Seattle, WA; San Antonio Convention Center; and King County Regional Justice Center, in Kent, WA. He is currently working on public artworks for the Snohomish Public Library in WA; Valley Metro Rail in Phoenix, AZ; Tacoma City Hall, WA; and the Great Mall Station, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority in Milpitas, CA.

Artist Statement

“In this work I have created an ‘alphabet’ of components and shapes, which I have then combined into many different ‘sentences.’ The work was largely created through an improvised process, almost like playing jazz, where each segment was tried in a variety of ways before the right one suggested itself. In the end, the piece is a lyrical and rhythmic narrative about the glory and mystery of machines.”

Memorial Park Station Art

About the Artist

John Valadez received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from California State University, Long Beach. He was Artist in Residence at the Foundation d’Art de la Napoule in France in 1987. Other honors include: a California Community Foundation Getty Trust Fellowship; a Joan Mitchell Foundation grant; a General Services Administration Design Award for artwork at the Federal Building in El Paso, TX; and an Art in Public Places Award from the Architecture Foundation of Orange County for his project at the Federal Office Building and Courthouse in Santa Ana, CA. His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the US, Europe, and Mexico.

Artist Statement

“This work is about remembering artists and artwork from another time before us all. Few Southern Californians are aware of the wealth of imagery and symbolism handed down from the ancestors of people who live among us today. This work celebrates the beauty of their early paintings and recognizes the value and meaning of that imagery in our lives today.”

Lake Station Art

Pat Ward Williams holds a Master of Fine Arts in photography from Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD. Her public art commissions include a project for the Hollywood & Highland Entertainment Center, Hollywood, CA; and the Gilbert Lindsay Memorial at the Los Angeles Convention Center. She has received many awards, including: a Ford Foundation Grant; two National Endowment for the Arts Photography Fellowships; a California Community Foundation Getty Trust Fellowship; and a Fulbright Regional Research Fellowship in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Artist Concept

Artist Pat Ward Williams used people in transit as the subject for her artwork at the station. Area residents modeled for the artist, and she captured them in the act of pointing, waving, laughing, talking, reaching, rushing, scolding, waiting, and daydreaming. The resulting human-scale black and white photographic portraits were emblazoned on dichroic glass panels that frame the station entry galleries bisected by Lake Avenue.

Sierra Madre Villa Station Art

About the Artist

Tony Gleaton has pursued an artistic career as a photographer since 1974. His interest in rodeo performers and black and Native American cowboys influenced a series of portraits of African-, Native-, Euro-, Mexican, and Mexican-American cowboys shot throughout Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, Kansas, and Colorado. His relationship with the Tarahumara Indians of Northern Mexico influenced a body of work shown in Mexico, Cuba, and the US by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. He is the recipient of a Durfee Foundation Award, and a grant from the Samoan Archives of the Oceanside Public Library to photograph present day American Samoa.

“Gleaton“: Printed on two double-sided porcelain enamel steel panels and visible from both directions, the blue-toned portraits echo the blue enclosure of the bridge, and depict local inhabitants the artist describes as “the others.” These photographs reflect the distinct differences and diversity between us all, and mirror the connecting glance, embrace, and human emotion we share and understand together.
