The artist graduated with a degree from Haverford College in 1981 and decided to create physical objects. “After college I was tired of only having sheets of paper to show for long days of work. With metal, after forty hours, I had something tangible, something that would survive, and something that might be here forever.”
The Museum of Science and Industry in London featured his helix CD rack on the cover of their catalog. His Teaship, a teapot that looks like a spaceship, has won design awards and Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy has displayed one in his office for many years. Bruce was also commissioned to make a helix sculpture to celebrate the completion of the Human Genome Project and to make the lifetime achievement award for the Manchester Film Festival. See less
