Bruce Winter - Profile

bruce winterSince 2000 I have been developing my stone sculpture skills and experimenting with mixed media constructions, combining wood, stone, and metal, often making use of recycled materials as an inspiration for something new. In creating, I like to utilise the inherent emotion of materials that have been worn and corroded and incorporate this into works that evoke a mixture of nostalgia and curiosity. My artistic direction is fluid and evolving, but I tend to be attracted first to form, then to texture and colour. My aim is to create a form that is pleasing to the eye and emotionally comforting. Most of my work represents a transformation or alteration from a past use or form into fresh entities both abstract and familiar. I continue to expand the type and use of materials in my creative endeavours with the intention of staying fresh and alert to new directions.

Please view the sculpture gallery and see for yourself what a “mind on the loose” can create. I hope you enjoy the variety and can relate to “the once was” and ”what I am now” nature of the works.
