Double Screwarch Bridge
1981

An artistic rendering of a symmetrical bridge with two large, horn-like structures that curve upwards and meet at the center above a calm body of water. The bridge's reflection is visible in the water, and the scene is depicted in sepia tones with subtle blue accents. The artwork has a surreal quality and is signed by the artist in the lower right corner.
