Piece description from the artist
This is a close up detail of a pattern that was created with one photo shot while I was driving east bound on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge while I was moving the camera from side to side and up and down with the camera looking in the direction of the ceiling lights on the eastern span of the Bay Bridge, which is the part of the bridge that was recently torn down and replace. The exposure was for a few seconds. I took this image and laid one layer on top of another and then turned it into a repeat pattern to create this image. My goal for this image is to print it extremely large and place it in the lobby of an office building in San Francisco.
David Klein studied film, theater arts and philosophy at San Francisco State University. After graduation, he began acting and directorial training at SFSU and at a local theater academy. After appearing in a few productions he decided to put his artistic life on hold while he focused on his family and work as a real estate agent in San Francisco.
An amateur photographer for nearly his whole life, in 2006 David returned to school to study photography and art at the City College of San Francisco and took up acting again. He has acted in several local films and had the lead on a Biography Channel TV program.
In 2009, David was inspired to use his photography to create designs for fabric prints after discovering how he could "paint with light” by taking photos of street and neon lights at night using long exposures with camera movement to create abstract images. In essence, he moves his camera like a painter moves his paint brush, creating imagery that flows and moves in shapes that reflect the human form and work perfectly for printing on fabrics for fashion and can be applied to a range of products. David also loves to take photos of people, places and things which he uses for creating designs for fabric prints and designing fashion with his prints.
