Megan Singleton’s work interprets USDA geospatial data of the Lower Missouri River watershed, which encompasses the area near the Airport. Singleton used pulp paper to mimic the lines of the watershed, which creates a dynamic relief along the wall. The opposite wall displays a series of botanical drawings of native Missouri aquatic plants. The drawings were laser cut from handmade paper, made from the very plants that the cut out drawings depict.
Projections by Sarah Giannobile
Pre-Security, Terminal 1, A Concourse Entrance
Giannobile says her colorful abstract compositions, Pink Lotus, Lily, and Perseids, are inspired by dreams and memories of past experiences. Upon archival prints, Giannobile uses a mixture of calcium carbonate and polypropylene resin to build up layers of symbols and forms that combine into a whole new narrative.
Sarah Giannobile is an independent artist in the St. Louis, Missouri suburb of Webster Groves. She earned a BFA from Webster University and MFA degree from Fontbonne University.

The exhibition highlighted the design of riverboats and railroads in the 19th and early 20th centuries through historic scale models, drawings, diagrams, and artwork, such as the work of Otto Kühler, a railroad designer and artist who created dynamic prints of train engines. There were also historic prints of river and rail travel, such as night scenes on the Mississippi River or the first train arriving in a frontier town by Currier & Ives. There are also models of steam engine trains, Pullman cars, flatboats, tugboats and paddle wheelers in the exhibition.

Empowerment from Within: Yoga and Our Youth by Cbabi Bayoc
Empowerment from Within: Yoga and Our Youth focuses on celebrating the movement of urban communities that pair yoga with youth in safe spaces. By promoting physical and mental well-being in his work, Bayoc allows viewers to explore the notions of focus, empowerment, and self-control through the eyes of children. His playful colors, presented within the context of youth and movement, subtly encouraged viewers to embrace slow, controlled action. Composed of shaped polymetal and acrylics, Warrior, Firefly, Flying Pigeon, Seek Enlightenment, Balance, and Queen Pigeon were on display in Terminal 2, between gates E18 and E20 from May, 2018 through November, 2018.
Time Won’t Give Me Time by Brandon Anschultz
Time Won’t Give Me Time is cones, Disco and After Party, that both reflect the tumultuous time of the gay community in the 1980’s. Disco is composed of three triangular mirror plinths each holding a different color of sand and glitter. After Party is composed of a black disco ball atop a mahogany base, loosely in the shape of the top of a coffin. Exploring juxtaposing feelings of joy, fear, rage, and sadness, Anschultz is able to celebrate the new possibilities of and memorialize the 1980’s as a time of deep transition within the gay community. His work pushes the imagination to places with strong emotional connections, while simultaneously celebrating the chaos that accompanied the time. Time Won’t Give Me Time were on display in the Terminal 1 Ticketing Lounge from May 2018 through November, 2018.
