The Port Mann series captures the moment in time when the construction of the new bridge across the Fraser River is underway but the old bridge still exists.

The images occupy the slipstream between conceived and existing, offering the illusion of shelter and promising the transition from the confused mess of the building site to the order and clarity of the new structure. While the images denote the hardscrabble nature of this massive project, they also honor the scale of the undertaking, and the unexpected beauty of the process saturated with light unique to the Pacific Northwest.
