Original Toronto Star caption: Caribou prance in subway. Artist Joyce Wieland stands in front of the wall-hanging she created for new Spadina subway line station on Spadina Rd. near Bloor St. The hanging depicts a herd of caribou and took nine months to make. The controversial plan to decorate new stations ran into heavy public opposition as a frill in a time of budget restraint.
