Portrait of Shoreline in Time and Space  Ellen Sollod, artist. Stainless steel and fused glass sidewalk inlays

Artist’s statement: A Portrait of Shoreline in Time and Space presents a scientific, mathematical and symbolic depiction of the city. A stylized "clock" at 175th places Shoreline at Pacific Standard Time (PST) in relation to Eastern Standard Time (EST) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

At 185th, the city’s place in the world is depicted through its latitude and longitude on the southeast corner and its zip codes and area codes across the street.

And, for fun, duck feet march their way across the sidewalk in two locations, referencing Shoreline's adjacency to the Sound.

For interest, cast blue glass insets add color and sparkle at each location. The mirrored-back disks reflect light during the day and capture the ambient light of street lights at night. All of the inlays are surrounded by dark glitter-crete for added accent.
