For both the Prospect Park and Parkside Av stations, Susan Tunick created intricate, multicolored ceramic mosaic murals and borders. These 1919 stations, with station booths and turnstiles located in above-ground "headhouses," feature wall tiles and decorative borders influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement. Tunick's art celebrates the vintage ceramic ornamentation of the station and is inspired by her fascination with terra cotta and her childhood memories of nearby Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Tunick says her works for the sites, collectively titled “Brighton Clay Re-Leaf, Nos.1-4,” balance her respect for the stations' "ceramic history," her recollection of the colors and shapes of the foliage in the park and garden, and her desire to add eye-catching modern design, which is achieved in her use of bold color, pattern, and texture in the tiles.

Susan Tunick is an artist working in New York City. She has worked on both private and public art commissions, and site-specific works using ceramics, tile and brick. She has been a guest artist at Watershed, participated in a resident at the European Ceramic Work Center (EKWC), and her work can be seen in the NYC schools and subway stations. Tunick is also the president of Friends of Terracotta, a national, non-profit that promotes education and research in the preservation of architectural terra cotta and related ceramic materials.
