DUXBURY ART MUSEUM SHOW
The Jumping Bridge by Julie Siler Olander
DUXBURY ART MUSEUM SHOW, “BRIDGES,”
FEATURING THE “21 IN TRURO GROUP
August - November 2012. A work entitled “The Jumping Bridge” by Julie Siler Olander was a featured piece in the show. It is 24 x 36 inches and depicts a multi-cultural scene of people enjoying the Sandwich Beach and Bridge which runs through the marsh.
It relates to how the ocean and recreation can be a bridge between nationalities, varying age groups and different economic strata, as all enjoy the great outdoors on Cape Cod.
The Jumping Bridge is in Sandwich, Massachusetts. It runs from a parking lot in the marsh to the dunes of Sandwich on Cape Cod Bay. It is rather unique, in that, people of all ages and nationalities jump from the bridge into the cool waters moving from the bay into the marsh and back. Sometime the bridge is so crowded with “jumpers and watchers” that people trying to get to and from the beach at the dunes are delayed or stopped completely.
There are also grandparents and grandchildren fishing or crabbing from the bridge, and pedestrians peer into the buckets to see what has been caught. Everyone loves to read the boardwalk, as people donated money to get their names or a special phrase carved into the wood. This paid for the bridge to be built. Some people think the “jumping bridge” is more fun than going to the beach. It certainly was fun for me to watch the people and to paint all 50 of them.
