Mark Holsworth’s article on 5th April was the first acknowledgement that I saw of Bruce Armstrong’s passing. Mark’s article of course has an image of Bunjil on Wurundjeri Way so do take time to check his much more complete obituary.
The ASV was witness to Bruce’s career in sculpture:
He won a second place in the (ASV run) 1985 Shell Australia Acquisitive Sculpture Prize in the Westpac Gallery - Victorian Arts Centre. Judges for the prize were Patrick McCaughey, Ken Scarlett and Michael Meszaros as current ASV President. Bruce’s work was a rough hewn fish in his characteristic style.
Bruce spoke at our AGM in 2015 and we visited his studio in March of 2016.
We had a guided tour of his Anthology of Strange Creatures at the NGV Federation Square in November of 2016.
Thanks for a sculptor’s life well lived. Rest in Peace Bruce.
