David Street Bridge, Elora, Original

The David Street Bridge in Elora offers pedestrians a birds-eye-view of the Elora Gorge and at its base, a popular setting for family and wedding photos.

True to its actual location, the bridge is prominently placed in cedar branches to represent the abundance of cedar trees surrounding it. The bridge itself, was created using fall oak leaves for structure and then overlaid with acrylic paint. The green-brown colour of the Grand River that flows through the Elora Gorge was captured using the reverse side of high mountain silver stem leaves. The shoreline was created by using different shades of bark, pieces of northern brome grass, and the stems from the silver lavender flower.
