Steel Bridge
Materials: Cotton warp, wool weft
Many of the twelve bridges that cross the Willamette River are artificially lit up at night for different occasions. As I was searching for ideas as to what bridge I would choose for the “Bridges not Walls” challenge, I thought of the lights that would naturally reflect down onto the water from the streetlamps and car lights. I became fascinated with the way the colors would ebb and flow against the dark waters and the blue sky above. I enjoyed recreating these reflections in my weaving of the Steel Bridge at
Night.
