About the artwork:
“Windows on Blount Street is based on a rubbing of one of my carved acrylic paintings from the Reservoir series, in which I chose techniques and motifs from my personal art-making history and used those elements to create 24 abstract modular paintings. In this image, the Reservoir-based image is overlaid with window shapes from some of the East Raleigh-South Park Historic District’s distinctive historic landmarks: Tupper Memorial Baptist Church, Raleigh Masonic Temple and Shaw University’s Estey Hall. These window shapes connect the geometric elements of the Reservoir series with the architectural context in which the banners will be displayed. The color scheme was chosen to fit with the red brick buildings and to be visually intelligible and engaging from a distance.”
