Piece description from the artist
My history, going back decades, overlaps with the Tacony Palmyra Bridge. It is a little bit of a snapshot from my life. To begin with, it spans the Delaware River taking travelers from the Tacony section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to southern New Jersey. I drove across often visiting my grandmother, other family members and going back and forth to college. It is a very narrow bridge with narrow lanes and really wasn't much to look at, but that's where the challenge begins….transforming the image into something striking to look at.
