The old Cooper River Bridge in Charleston, South Carolina, no longer exists. Replaced by its new and modern successor, the old bridge is the subject of an engaging art project by Jane Williams.
The project consists of a collection of materials and art works that document, preserve, and reflect the visual and personal experiences that the Grace and Pearman bridges afforded to visitors and residents of the region.
Faced with the task of developing a website for the project that presents the many aspects of this fascinating art project in an entertaining and informative manner, Williams enlisted the help of Topos Media's art director H-Ray Heine.
One of the key challenges in the development of the site was to create a look and feel for the site that matches the overall tone of Williams' work.
Bridges connect, shape and define places like few other architectural structures. Williams' interdisciplinary approach to the creation an artistic record of this memorable landmark produced a bridge in its own right, a connection to a structure that had defined the Charleston region for decades.
