Bio:

Through the years he has been honored with numerous solo exhibitions in New York and New Zealand. His work has a part of many group exhibitions across the country and abroad, he has won numerous awards for his ceramics and has been included in a variety of books and magazines. Bruce continues to exhibit his work internationally and is currently working on a documentary film on the ceramics of New Zealand.

Artist Statement:

"My artistic practice includes functional pottery, sculpture, drawing, and filmmaking. My decision to use a particular media is based around what the exploration I am interested in pursuing with regards to what ideas I want to express at that time. In other words, my functional pottery currently involves my interest in expressing something(s) about my ancestry (Norwegian) and my wife's ancestry (Sikh). I view the 'pot' as an ideal format for the use of motif, that were developed over the course of our specific cultures' evolutions, in order to express something about our lives together."
