McConnell’s work includes several uniquely designed entry markers, each one containing detailed maps of neighborhoods which make up the square panels of the different sides. The artist’s concept is based on the “community connection” concept -- distinctive of Cary’s history at a particular point in time and the mapping of neighborhoods in Cary.
