As part of the 2018 station improvements, artist Chris Wynter extended his glass mosaic artwork, Migration, at Cathedral Parkway-110 St Station. Located near Frederick Douglass Circle, a gateway to Harlem, the artwork was originally installed in 1999 by Miotto Mosaic Art Studios, and it continues to evoke the spirit of migration, both of people who have found their home in Harlem, as well as the universal search for the feeling of home--in one’s heart and in the world. Imagery in the artwork includes houses atop stilts and wheels, ladders, the North Star, footprints, recurring circular patterns (both complete and incomplete), and African symbols of spiritual centering. These objects and a continuous pathway weave in and out of large simple shapes throughout the station, threading through the shifting dynamics of passage.

Chris Wynter earned his B.F.A. from Empire State College and a Certificate from the National Academy of Design. Wynter’s solo exhibitions include Barbara Greene, Studio Museum in Harlem, Goebel kunst, Luz Verde, and others; public works include MTA/New York City; Hualein, Taiwan; Aibetsu, Japan; La Romana, Dominican Republic; University of Connecticut, and others; collections include Merrill-Lynch, Studio Museum in Harlem, Mitsubishi, SBA America, and others; awards include Arts International/Lila-Wallace, West Africa; Asian Cultural Council, Taiwan and Japan; and Altos de Chavon, Dominican Republic.
