Brown Chapel AME Church, Selma
A photo taken from a beach toward a distant city, which is shown in silhouette. A house-shaped sculpture stands in the foreground and casts a strong shadow on the ground. There are trees visible to the right of the midground.
Rev. William M. Norwood Visiting the Infirm, Gordon Parks, silver print
A very low, floor-bound wooden sculpture composed entirely of vertical elements. It is constructed in the shape of a glacial river. The sculpture is rudimentarily crafted out of architectural model building materials; doorways are cut into the walls of the sculpture at irregular intervals.
