Drawbridge

Dundee is a city that I love to spend time in, it reminds me of Glasgow with its creative energy and industrial past. Before this last solo trip to shoot a roll of film, I used Google Street View to scout out interesting views of the Tay Rail Bridge, an iconic and historic Dundee landmark. When I visited Dundee’s newest landmark, the V&A museum, I knew the juxtaposition of tradition and modernity with these two iconic sites would be effective for one of my double exposures.

The triangular underpass connected to the architecture of the V&A is appealing to the eye as a basic shape, but also the space within allowed the imagery of the bridge, a symbol of transition and progression, to flow through beautifully. The finished piece reminds me of some kind of ancient pyramid or a drawbridge acting as the doorway between history and modernity.
