Thirty-five years after he had first recorded the Sydney landmark, Moore returned to the Harbour Bridge with new eyes. Inevitably, I was conscious of Klippel's work when looking at the details of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The forms, structure and textures reminded me of Klippel's use of typewriter parts to make tense, delicate assemblages.

This photograph was included in the David Moore 100 Photographs series that toured the State Library of NSW (titled David Moore 100 photographs) in late 2005. The exhibition then travelled to Monash Gallery of Art, Melbourne, in 2006, changing its title to David Moore A Vision, 1927-2003; and then to Bendigo Art Gallery (2006), Shepparton Art Gallery (2006), Albury Regional Art Gallery (2007), Gold Coast City Art Gallery (2007), Wollongong City Gallery (2007), Mildura Arts Centre (2008), and finally to LaTrobe Regional Gallery (2008). A Limited Edition of the series was also produced.
