About the Artwork
Landed Bridge Series is a large-scale sculpture created by artist Thomas Lindsey for Spokane Community College. He composed the sculpture in three pieces, arranged in a group. The strong geometric forms and parallel planes play with our perceptions. At some angles, the group appears connected. At other angles, you can see that the elements are distinctly separate.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Community Colleges of Spokane.
