220 feet of weathering steel panels with etched bronze overlays for the American Boulevard Station of the Hiawatha Line Light Rail, Minneapolis, MN. The imagery consists of local plants and animals whose names allude to human riches: golden eyed duck, jewel weed, golden rod, etc., overlaid with a collage of newspaper articles etched in bronze describing the financial collapse of 2008, marking the year the project was designed and relating the panels to the current use of the location.
