I’ve been drawn to the subject of bridges throughout my career. They serve as metaphor for connections and passages and change. This bridge over the Fox River in Green Bay connects east and west sides of the city. It’s a busy hub of traffic and commerce. The River it rises above has it’s own connection to the history of this city from a time long before white settlers and French trappers discovered it’s nature and flow. As it has happened in many big cities, industry has used and abused the River. Slowly, slowly the Fox is regaining her health. This field study painting is about the movement of time (and the River) from here to there.
