Inspired by my runs over the new Ravanel Bridge in Charleson, SC> I chose to draw the two rickety old bridges, the Grace and Pearman Bridges that I have heard about and just seen in old photos. (They're more fun to draw!) I added the female figure rowing the little boat from a man I had photographed in Lima, Peru in 2010. The title "Gemin Bridges" refers to the two bridges' similar shapes and proximity, but also I borrowed the name from an area I mountain-biked near Moab, Utah in 2014.
