Bruce Busby is a contemporary artist who works with sculpture and drawing. His work has been shown at the Pierogi, Hendershot Gallery, LoBot Gallery, and Santa Monica Museum of Art. Busby seeks to create environments in which we can escape negative forces, and regain our peace of mind and the ability to think clearly. Busby’s Creativity Enhancement Shelters are safe-havens that the artist creates out of colorful nylon with crisp or curvilinear structures. While his shelters are structured around concepts of mobility and flexibility, Busby’s drawings often have a geographic specificity. His Creativity Amplification Quakes (CRAQUE) drawings depict contamination rising from the fault lines of the San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles areas. Busby lives in San Diego with his wife and two daughters, and works as a mechanical engineer at Rayotek Scientific Inc., developing high pressure glass products for aerospace and deep sea exploration. He continues to make my drawings and sculptures in his free time.
