Hi :) I’m Wes Bruce.
I’m a multi-practice artist. I primarily focus on creating large-scale, immersive artwork that is part-fictional world, part lucid dream, part hero’s journey. I create these invitational installations through my collaborative studio, The Curious Life in partnership with Contemporary Art Museums, Children’s Museums, and other cultural institutions.

Created with Playfulness by a team of dedicated artists and creatives

the dense moss, rich with moisture, is a perfect growing medium for iceland’s many species of mushrooms. experienced mushroom hunters know to visit their favorite spots a few days after it rains to find the biggest variety.

iceland’s geothermic pools and black sand beaches create stunning compositions from the air. both are created by the island’s constant volcanic activity.

iceland’s surface is carved by water, originating from either its massive glaciers or abundant rainfall.

the sun’s angle at this latitude produces deep and contrasty colors, drawing out the blacks in the volcanic soil and saturating the greens from the grasses and moss.
