"...Robin Holder. Migration, 2006. Laminated glass in mezzanine windows and platform windscreens. This extensive artwork contains 34 panels of laminated glass, that focus on the artist's exploration, in her words, of "spatial relationships, color, and movement as well as issues of humanity, culture, and identity." The imagery is abstract, with precision in the quality of line and forms, which was a particular challenge since the medium is glass. Robin Holder says images "incorporate symbols from various cultures that relate to the theme of: interaction, movement, and society in motion. I hope that this work promotes a sense of celebration and reflects the vivacity, energy and liveliness of my fellow New Yorkers who use the Flushing Avenue Station."

Lorimer Street (on Broadway at Lorimer Street) opened 9/16/1888 and has three tracks and two wall platforms.

"...Annette Davidek. Roundlet Series, 2002. Faceted glass in mezzanine windows and platform windscreens. Annette Davidek's murals at Lorimer Street in Brooklyn illustrate the fractured and fragmented language of nature in a medium well-suited for her expressive work. Roundlet Series reveals the countless varieties of organic forms in botany. At times the murals recall blossoming flowers, twisting branches, or meandering patterns that mimic genetic elements. The challenge in translating the artist's work-on-paper into the faceted glass murals was to capture the detail and complexity of the compositions while maintaining their captivating qualities. Faceted glass delivers a striking quality of translucency, texture, and range of color. Dramatic contrasts between the contour and the content becomes apparent against the background and the result adds vibrancy to the station platform."

Hewes Street (on Broadway at Hooper Street) opened 9/16/1888 and has three tracks and two wall platforms. The north exits leads to Hewes Street and is an emergency exit. The south exit leads to Hooper Street and has a crossunder.

"...Mara Held. El in 16 Notes, 2002. Faceted glass in mezzanine windows and platform windscreens. Artist Mara Held's El in 16 Notes is a meditation on variations in pattern caused by differing qualities of light and the creation of overlapping forms and layers. The inspiration for the imagery of the piece was originally derived from cut-out dress patterns. Through the minimal yet elegant shifts in color and pattern that are occasionally pierced by playful curving lines, the work enables the viewer to witness the light and the neighboring skyline as it emerges through the glass planes. Held played particular attention to the colors and role of natural light to animate and illuminate the work, which graces the platform with light and color."

Marcy Avenue (on Broadway at Marcy Avenue) opened9/16/1888 and has three tracks and two wall platforms is in the final stages of renovation which extended the platform level station houses over the street, added south exits on the northbound platform and added HEETs to the southbound south exit. The station is now full ADA. Leaving this station we see a short section of track continuing straight which once lead to the Broadway ferry Spur. The line now runs over the Williamsburg Bridge via a separate bridge between the two roadway bridges. Sources with the NYC DOT indicate that this bridge is really three bridges in one: The Brooklyn bound bridge (4 lanes), the subway structure, and the Manhattan bound bridge (4 lanes). The bridge has two ADA walkways over the subway tracks until the Manhattan Anchorages when it merges into one walkway. The subway tracks descend into the subway and we enter our next station. For a discussion of the spur see the JJ page

"...Ellsworth Ausby. Space Odyssey, 2004. Faceted glass in mezzanine windows and platform windscreens. Ellsworth Ausby created eight triptychs for the station's platform windscreens that explore the relationship of man to the universe. In a subtle way, the brilliantly colored forms evoke the feeling of the swirling cosmos. For this commission, the artist produced a series of drawings later translated into a faceted glass. According to the artist, he is particularly attracted by "the idea of traveling in infinite space, which is as a passenger on the Earth Express line, experienced through the cycle of the seasons." He was particularly pleased to work with faceted glass windows, "a new and exciting medium for me to work with, ... These windows have allowed me to expand my understanding of the possibilities that this concept has as public art,....It is my hope that these windows express what I feel is the spirit of New York, the hustle and bustle, the fast pace of the city."
