A canvas of light is coming down Sunday after illuminating the western span of the Bay Bridge for 10 years. But with enough donors, it will come “back in a more glorious manifestation,” its founder Ben Davis says.
"There's a sense of mystery and magic to the piece," said Leo Villareal, the artist who worked with Davis to create the light installation.
The challenge, which Davis and others are working on, is to be sure that the new installation does not distract drivers. He is working with traffic engineers and the California Highway Patrol to ensure driver safety. Manton helped secure approval from the commission and helped write the resolution in support of it for the commission.
