A Streetcar Named Toronto

 

A streetcar named Toronto project began with the idea to celebrate the CLRV Toronto streetcars that will be officially off the tracks by the end of 2019. Working with Mark Fiorillo Founder of Civic Ventures Canada & CityFund Foundation, and curator Lukas Toane, I was commissioned to cover the interior ceiling portion of a streetcar with artwork.

The visual direction of the artwork takes inspiration from daydreaming on the streetcar, adding an imaginative dream-like visual direction between the pathways, streetcar stops and nodes.

Working with artists Jacquie Comrie, Ryan Van Der Hout, Suanne McGregor and Chris Perez, one entire streetcar became activated with artwork, creating a fun, interactive space for riders to experience.
