Duncan Rawlinson photographed the undulating wooden surface of the Spadina Wavedeck in Toronto, Ontario. The frame isolates the repeating slats and diagonal beams of the structure, emphasizing the parallel lines and weathered grain of the timber. Muted tones of gray and silver dominate the composition, with stainless steel posts anchoring the railing above. The design’s wave-like contours are reduced here to pure line and texture, offering a study in architectural form along the city’s waterfront. The tight framing removes all context beyond the deck itself, turning functional urban infrastructure into an exercise in pattern and material.
