Elizabeth Matheson searches for places where “something seems about to happen.” She often selects spaces where no people are visible but traces of their existence are. This second-story porch overlooks the expansive waterfront of one of the oldest towns in North Carolina, Edenton.

Edenton, settled on a bay opening onto Albemarle Sound, once served as the busy capital of North Carolina. Matheson’s composition emphasizes patterns of lines and angles.
