South Keys Code

Located along the north and south walls of the South Keys underpass, Standish's mural encourages transit users to touch the tiles and decode eleven Braille symbols. Green and blue evoke the essence of a lush watery landscape and open sky while stainless steel tiles represent a plant or an animal that inhabited the South Keys area when it was marshland. The artist considered Braille to be a sculptural language that can recall a relationship between memory, history and culture.
