Double Screwarch Bridge
1981

An artistic rendering of a symmetrical bridge with exaggerated, funnel-like bases supporting a wavy, spine-like structure that meets at a sharp point in the center above a road. The background features a muted landscape with a body of water and a pale sky. The artwork has a surreal quality and is signed in the lower right corner.
