Double Screwarch Bridge
1981

A sepia-toned surrealist artwork depicting two large, dark, funnel-like structures with serrated edges that curve towards each other, meeting at a central point above a flat horizon. The structures are mirrored, creating a symmetrical image with a sense of depth. The background features a sparse landscape with a clear sky, and the artwork is signed in the lower right corner.
