Formerly located Constant Care Community Health Center, 1501 Division Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21217
Remarks:
The sculpture was funded through the City of Baltimore's One Percent for Art program. Gregory Evans and the firm of Sulton, Campbell were the architects for the new community center (then known as Constant Care Community Center), built in 1978. The sculpture was originally planned as one long relief; but the design was modified to break the work into two sections. The steel was cut at Seaboard Company. For related information see: Henry & Caroline Naylor's "Public Monuments & Sculpture of Baltimore: An Introduction to the Collection," 1987.
