PROJECT INFO

Passing under the bridge, commuters see a pattern of squares made from cross-hatched textures, alternating orientation, stamped onto the slope wall to form a diamond Native American rug design. Bookended by two half-diamonds, this central diamond spans the height and width of the slope wall. Representing a woven quilt or blanket that is needed to pad saddles, these stamped diamonds accentuate the simple weave appearing on the piers and wing walls to further connote the theme of saddlery and equine craftsmanship.
