Sundial Bridge — Artist Statement

The Sundial Bridge drew me in as more than architecture. I was drawn to how curve, tension, repetition, and proportion give it movement, balance, and grace. I photographed it from views where its familiar identity could recede and its underlying forms emerge. The project explores how strength and complexity can become something simple, elegant, and almost effortless through the language of its design.
