"Bruce's
art goes beyond merely sculpting a representational image of the subject: he
is able to capture the unique and often very subtle qualities about his
subjects- sometimes it is a certain facial quality, other times it is a
muscular movement. In all cases, it leaves the impression with the
viewer that the sculptor caught the uniqueness of the
individual."
