Capturing the fleeting atmosphere of a moment in place, "Outlook" for the Broadway station is an imaginary, saturated, color-filled landscape that references the past and present of the neighborhood surrounding the elevated station in Astoria. The laminated glass artwork highlights the native flora in the area, and the deciduous woodlands, ponds, swamps, wetlands, meadows, and conifer forests that were once dominant features in the location. The palette choices for "Outlook" are inspired by the current colors visible in the neighborhood, including those found in the existing architecture, storefronts, restaurants and public spaces. 

Diane Carr worked closely with Glasmalerei Peters Studios to translate her original landscape paintings into hand-painted glass to be integrated into the station facades and windows in the waiting area. 

Diane Carr is a painter living and working in Brooklyn. Interested in emphasizing the material of paint, her work examines our surroundings through heightened color and shifts in scale. Loosely combining photographs and personal memory of places, the finished paintings are invented landscapes. Certain areas are washed while others are layered, with spaces that dissolve into abstraction. The intention is for the completed work to exist somewhere between what is real and imagined. Her work has been exhibited at museums and galleries. She is the recipient of an Artists Space project grant, an LMCC Arts Fund Grant, and a Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant.
