The Bridge, the Bridge
Steady under strain and strong through tension Its feet on both sides but in neither camp It stands its ground, a span of pure attention A holding action, the arches and the ramp Steady under strain and strong through tension. by Seamus Heaney To the left is an image of the Magdalen Arts Space (MAS) on the last day of The Bridge sequential collaboration. The participants had modified material during the three weeks of the project and the installation evolved. The final installation was quite changed from early in the sequential collaboration; for an example please see the image below after day 7 of the collaboration.

The Bridge was a sequential collaboration inspired by Seamus Heaney's poem (above). Several of the Magdalen Road Studios artists participated in the collaboration; the collaborative art work took place in Magdalen Art Space from 1.2.21 to 12.2.21.

Although we were not working side by side, given the pandemic and restrictions, we were sequentially in the same space, producing art collectively. Images posted here are from the collective of artists.
