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. “It was as if the landscape was a huge canvas,” Bridges explains. “I would take sections of it and work with it.” Kea is part of the Cyclades archipelago in the Aegean Sea.
