Bruce Slatter’s recent work explores the expectation and potential of everyday objects and structures from the urban environment. Ideas of endeavour, anxiety, apprehension and empathy are prevalent in the work through the carefully constructed miniatures sited within possible scenarios. By diminishing the scale, the work attempts to intensify focus, to distil the essence and meaning of an object, while still retaining its original form. The dioramas cast the viewer as participant, reminding them of familiar and shared experiences and as witness by providing an all seeing perspective and understanding.
Bruce was the recipient of the 2003 Curtin University - Galerie Düsseldorf Post Graduate Scholarship and also won the 2004 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize
