Blue McRight created two artworks entitled Twist and Sprout for the Nobel Athletic Area and North University Community Branch Library. The artist, inspired by the natural terrain and uses for the site, created a meaningful sense of place by symbolically identifying the two main buildings, the library and recreation center, as the mind and the body respectively. Through the use of metaphoric imagery, the artist encourages the whole complex to be seen as representing the whole person. In addition to the thematic connection of the mind/library with the body/athletic area, the artist draws inspiration from the natural environment and the technology industry which neighbors the site.
