THE BRIDGE

Introducing a series of photographs by John Burris.

Gestures....forming the Bridge, by which we may pass over into spoken language; Sayce,Comparative Philology;

An easy and attractive way of escape...... ;"Her brygges wounden up in haste, and her gates barryd faste";

Pons Varolli, a portion of the brain which stretches in a curve between the two lobes of the cerebellum

A thin board supported at either end, for the hand of the artist to rest upon over his work;

No special deity claimed the services of the bridge or road makers.
