Artist Statement:
analog film for a digital world
artist | musician
“At first glance…Bruce… doesn’t initially seem like the whimsical kind…His photographs…are focused, journalistic and frank. The well-heeled lyrics that infiltrate his buoyant brand of pop are ruminative and straight forward, poetic yet never fussy. Yet for all this blunt force, there is a capriciousness that belies his lighthearted sense of play and humor. Photographically it is wrecked train tracks, battered sculptures, creaky barns, bruised busses, dime store Elvis impersonators and the wretched likes that are his subjects. He adds a gently silly and unique perspective. (His coloring)… gives each piece of black & white film a surrealist burst of pop color that makes the image he has captured come vibrantly alive — merging the beauty and sadness in his art with seamless elegance.”
