About the Item

This semi-abstract landscape with bold colors is a one of a kind work on paper This work comes framed. This work is part of Deborah Sibony's Bay Bridge Series. Deborah Sibony is a Bay Area printmaker born in Pisa, Italy, of North African heritage. She came to the United States at age seventeen and has lived in the Bay Area for the past 35 years. ABOUT THE BRIDGE PRINTS “On the day of the Loma Prieta earthquake (October 17, 1989) I had just begun commuting from San Francisco to work at Fantasy Records in Berkeley. Thus began my long-term relationship with the Bay Bridge. The quake caused the collapse of a 50-foot section of the upper deck and led to the death of a 23-year-old woman. I was fortunate not to be driving home on the bridge at the time of the earth- quake, when I could easily have been returning to San Francisco. I spent that night in Berkeley with a friend since the bridge was closed to all traffic, and would remain so for several weeks. Twenty-four years later, on September 3, 2013, a wondrous, white, single-span was set to replace the damaged eastern section of the bridge. On the day before the eastern span was closed forever and the dismantling began, I drove across that compromised structure for the last time. As I shot video from the car, a feeling struck me on a gut level: it was the start of a new era for the geography and landscape of the Bay Area — and the beginning of the end for an iconic structure that would soon cease to exist. From then on, I took photos with my iPhone whenever I drove across the new eastern span, adjacent to the closed cantilevered section, documenting its gradual deconstruction until it finally disappeared. Using a special transfer process, I incorporated those images into a series of monotypes.” --Deborah Sibony Printmaking, and monotypes in particular, continue to be Sibony’s passion. The process inspires experimentation and has a spontaneous nature that appeals to her.  She takes photographs, which she uses as a starting point for an idea. Combined with the monotype, she uses a variety of mark-making methods, photo transfers, ink, drawing, staining, and painting, each assimilating a progression of ideas. Color, line, and form take shape, and the landscape is transformed, weathered and distilled, transporting the viewer to a place that is familiar, yet unknown, reflective and engaging.
