I read about this mural that was being created in Charles Town (not to be confused with Charleston, the capital of West Virginia). Since we were going to dinner in nearby Rippon, I made a side trip to find this. It was not finished when I saw it on Saturday but about 50 people had been helping so it would be done soon.
The designer is Isaiah Zagar of Philadelphia. He is working with schools and local citizens to create a mosaic that represents the community. Huge letters of mirrored glass spell out Charles Town. Other elements swirl around, and I noticed a theme of history, particularly referring to the abolitionist John Brown, who was tried and hanged in the town after he attacked Harpers Ferry in 1859.
What an intricate mosaic to see being created.
