Seattle Cloud Cover, Glass art bridge in Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle, US.

Seattle Cloud Cover is a glass art bridge in Olympic Sculpture Park featuring photographic images of shifting skies within its transparent panels. The structure creates a covered walkway where the photographs and the surrounding landscape interact with each other.

Approved in 2004 and completed in 2006, the bridge was financed by the Olympic Sculpture Park Art Acquisition Fund in honour of the Seattle Art Museum's 75th anniversary. It is Teresita Fernández's first permanent publicly sited work.

Fernández titled the piece for the sky it frames: the laminated glass holds a photographic interlayer of clouds, so walking the 200-foot span places viewers beneath an image of the sky rather than the open air. The bridge was funded by the Olympic Sculpture Park Art Acquisition Fund for the Seattle Art Museum's 75th anniversary.

The bridge is part of the Sculpture Park and open to the public year-round at no charge, so you can visit freely whenever you want. Plan time to explore the surrounding park area, as there are other artworks to discover while you are there.

The way light passes through the glass and interacts with the photographic layers creates a constantly shifting visual experience throughout the day. Each visit reveals different details depending on the time of day and weather conditions.
