11. As Above, So Below
With a similar theme to the Main Concourse Ceiling, Ellen Driscoll’s As Above, So Below, made of glass, bronze, and mosaic in the Grand Central North passageway, depicts scenes from the night sky. Her artwork portrays images of myths, civilization, heavens, and the underworld and features a diverse cast of people from many different backgrounds, some taking on characteristics of mythical figures.
While many of us are in a hurry, the artwork depicts our connection to the heavens and the wider world through various colors, tales of the past, the sun and stars, and the fates and fortunes of deities and humans.
