By juxtaposing solid, stable elements of bridge construction and acid etched parts, remnants of former order, I attempt to locate the aesthetic value of erosion and decay. Bridges, in the process of construction, reconstruction or demolition invites one to reconsider a bridge’s value as a functional system or as a historical relic of an economy that has passed it by. Bringing my objects back to the body, as site for memorial, intends to humanize the monumental and preserve connections to our industrial landscape.
