More Information

Bridges has pioneered the use of aerial photography in the fine arts with a focus on ancient earthworks and their modern, often industrial, counterparts. β€œIt was as if the landscape was a huge canvas,” Bridges explains. β€œI would take sections of it and work with it.” Ica is a desert region bordering the Pacific Ocean along the southwest coast of Peru.
