details about this work


Bruce Allan is based in Blakeney, South West


I work across international boundaries, often collectively or in partnership with others making images, objects, structures, installations, events. My focus is the appearance of human ideas and external phenomena. Materials, methods and processes are diverse, contextually symbiotic. Materials may be natural, synthetic, industrial. Application includes text, installation, drawing, time-based digital and natural processes. Main methods are writing, recording, intervention.
