This builds on previous representations of rainbows by Duxbury. The text refers to the double rainbow in the manner of artist Hamish Fulton, using the words for the rainbow's colours to represent the rainbow itself. In Bridge the doubling of text in two languages builds on this idea, representing both a link between two countries and two cultures. In Bridge the photographic representation of a rainbow, separated into two parts, alludes to the elusive ends of the rainbow that can never be reached and exist only in the mind of the observer - the ends of the rainbow come together in the imagination.
