About the artwork:
“To start this project, I made two scouting trips to Blount Street where I walked the blocks mentioned in the project and searched for a subject. I decided to create a composition
using Prince Hall as the subject. I was inspired by the building’s architectural details and the shadow patterns they created just after noon in early December. I included the Mason
signage to help define the subject and honor their long history at that site. Also, from my vantage point sitting across the street from Prince Hall, I noticed the Cabarrus street sign and decided to include it in the composition as a nod to the street intersection and to help create an interesting space in the drawing.”
