Stephen Bruce Studios extends this elemental dialogue through copper. Long revered as a conductor - of energy, heat, and signal - copper becomes both surface and substance in Bruce’s work. His practice of acid etching aligns materially and energetically with the mineral world, translating metal into meditative, powerful visual statements. In this context, copper is not ornamental. It is structural, historical, and alive - echoing the very forces that define the Southwest.
