At age 50 I disrupted the status quo of my day to day and stepped into my creative life. My figurative sculptures are a record of that process.

I create an imaginary world filled with people and creatures who are confident in their eccentricity. My art celebrates the weird and quirky side of our personalities. It’s that part we try hard to hide from others, but in reality it’s the side that makes us special. Makes us stand out from the crowd. Our secret superpower, so to speak.

I hand sculpt each one in kiln fired paperclay. Each face is hand painted in layered underglazes to create a worn and weathered feeling, as a reminder of the impermanence of things. I am reminded of the comfort that worn and well used objects bring to my life.

My sculptures are not perfect, I am always learning. But they are a real reminder to give one’s self the permission to be yourself and to follow a dream.

Bruce Lindsay’s sculpture takes familiar objects from nature and by changing their material through the arduous process of casting in metal and glass produces artworks that arrest the sense of loss that the passage of time can bring. Items on the brink of decay, such as driftwood and leaves are rendered permanent in stainless steel and bronze. Their moment of departure in the crucible of casting is meticulously recorded in materials that are profoundly permanent.

Parenting and career rendered my creative practice nearly non-existent for decades until a crisis inspired a new body of work exploring intergenerational trauma. That work became the centerpiece of “Nature/Nurture,” an exhibition I curated of six generations of artists in my family at M Galleries. While previously hand-painted photography was my medium, this new work was primarily sculptural, made of natural materials found on walks and inspired by nature where I take refuge from the world and am alone with thoughts that directly inform the work.

From that point forward I prioritized my practice and carved out more time for it. I have been actively exhibiting over the past three years and in 2020 my first solo exhibition, “The Great Beyond,” took place. This was an audiovisual installation exploring what happens when we die, inspired by the death of my own father. Last year, “Wishful” took place. The title referenced my wishful or magical thinking represented by work created during the pandemic. A series of talismans and magic wands were inspired by my first visit to The Met when it reopened after a prolonged COVID closure, and my desire for things to be other than they were. In the center of the gallery I created a large circular installation or Mandala comprised of bark, sand, stones, and other objects collected on my wanderings. For the past year I have been drawn to the circle as form and process.

Driven by a deep connection to nature, interest in ecology, the environment, and non-traditional and non-exclusionary ways to present and experience art, I have started creating site specific work in public parks using materials found on site. This work is accessible to anyone who visits the park, anonymous, cannot be commodified, and is not obviously “art.” Beginning in spring 2022 I will create four seasons of site specific environmental work at Whittemore – Community, Culture & Conservation, a 180-acre preserve in Oldwick, NJ which will allow me to go much deeper into this type of work.

My work uses found objects, both natural and human-made.  I combine the pieces I find in a stacking and balancing construction. I do not weld or use glue.  I use this “stacking” method to create my sculptures in order to emphasize the concept of balance. Balance is required in order to live our lives in a healthy way, both emotionally and physically. It is imperative that there be balance between humans and nature / our environment. Some of my favorite objects to use are springs, because they demonstrate how precarious life can be, and because they embody potential energy.

The fact that the objects which make up my sculptures are not bound together means that the sculptures must be broken down into their individual parts in order to be moved. This requires the buyers to put the sculptures back together wherever they wish them to be displayed. This simple act creates a bond between the owner and the sculpture, and between the owner and me (the original sculptor).

My woodcarving assemblages are also based on balance. I strictly use primitive hand tools to create a dialogue between myself and the wood in its natural form. Using hand tools rather than power tools allows me to bring out the form I see through feeling it with my hands. In a world of mass production, AI, robots and 3D printing, I walk in the opposite direction. Each piece I make is truly one-of-a-kind, a completely unique creation of balance and beauty.

I have been building/making things as long as I can remember. At the age of five I was watching my neighbors house being constructed. This interest in wood and how pieces are shaped and put together has been a lifelong interest for me. I would describe my work as constructionist in approach. I am drawn to elemental shapes, positive and negative space, shadows, and the color and grain of wood.

Over the years I have found my language for how these pieces come together in a composition that says what I need to say.
