Bruce Ingram
Bruce prefers to leave his creative process open to improvisation and spontaneity, often choosing to deconstruct and morph artworks to make more unexpected or pre-determined outcomes. The fluid nature of this studio process is central to the production of his work, with the process of collage and appropriation informing new outcomes and dialogues.
His use of plaster as a substitute for paint, concealing various textiles, coloured sand and household materials. This results in a surface of colour and texture, exposing and revealing the work’s layered history. This working approach is further employed in his ongoing exploration of paper, a medium that combines his interest in both drawing and sculpture.
