A plaque bearing the profile of a Navajo is mounted over the entrance to the Hubbell Trading Post at Ganado, Arizona. It has been there for over 100 years. Founder John Hubbell was a trader, friend and father figure to the Navajo people from 1876 to 1930. I wanted more than just a description of the plaque itself – I wanted to express the nature of the texture, color, and light that define this unique place. I use the geometry created by the interplay of light and shadow to achieve my goal.
