“表面”是Ivan Toth Depeña的公共艺术装置，由CATS委托为Cornelius的交通慰安站设计。这个三维彩色玻璃装置的灵感来自科尼利厄斯附近的一个地理景点，诺曼湖。Depeña使用了诺曼湖的水下地形数据，重现了从湖面向上看的抽象体验。艺术家希望通过在结构表面上的光级和折射颜色来建立在水面下游泳的情感体验。这种光线和色彩的运用旨在通过随着太阳的运动而改变整个日历，从而动态地响应场地。这使得等待的顾客可以体验和享受诺曼湖全天变化的丰富多彩的印象派景观。蓝色和绿色与湖泊的颜色相呼应，而设计中的橙色色调连接回卡罗莱纳粘土，构成了湖底的大部分。

这个项目对艺术家的工作室来说是一次独特的体验，艺术家可以直接与Record的建筑师REDLINE设计团队合作，塑造驾驶员舒适站的三维形式。这种合作使潜在的概念从工作室草图到建筑再到最终的制造和施工无缝地发展。该建筑结合了一个悬臂式遮阳篷，作为乘客的庇护所，但也融合了彩色艺术玻璃装置。倾斜的雕塑中心的位置直接与极坐标(北、南、东、西)对齐，并利用特别设计的天篷大小和俯仰来利用太阳全天的轨迹。这种艺术、建筑和乡土的和谐融合不仅为通勤者提供了远离环境的庇护所，而且还将他们与原生环境联系起来。

“Surface” is a public art installation by Ivan Toth Depeña that was commissioned by CATS for the Cornelius’ transit comfort station. The 3 dimensional, colored glass installation was inspired by one of Cornelius’ adjacent geographic attractions, Lake Norman. Depeña used underwater topographic data from Lake Norman to recreate the abstracted experience of looking up through the surface of the lake. The artist wanted to build on the emotional experience of swimming beneath the water’s surface by having the light cascade and refract color on the surfaces of the structure. This play of light and color is intended to respond dynamically to the site by changing throughout the calendar with the movement of the sun. This allows waiting  patrons to experience & enjoy a colorful, impressionistic view of the of the topography of Lake Norman that changes throughout the day.  Blues & greens echo the colors of the lake while shades of orange in the design connect back to the Carolina clay makes up much of the lake bottom.

This project was a unique experience for the artist's studio that allowed the artist to work directly with the architect of Record, REDLINE design group, to shape the 3-dimensional form of the driver’s comfort station. This collaboration allowed the underlying concept to develop seamlessly from studio sketches to architecture to final fabrication and construction. The architecture incorporates a cantilevered awning to function as shelter for riders but also fuses with colored art glass installation. The positioning of the tilted sculptural centerpiece aligns directly with the polar coordinates (North, South, East and West) and utilizes the specifically engineered, canopy size and pitch to take advantage of the sun’s trajectory throughout the day. This harmonious blend of art, architecture & vernacular not only gives commuter's shelter from their environment but also connects them back to their native environment.
