Bruce Dunbar is a photographic artist who is interested in examining the various processes of photography. He frequently works across processes and combines different processes from analog to digital to instant to alternative. His work with combining photographic processes and mixed media is an attempt at capturing an impression, an inescapable essence of what once was, the invisible force through which matter changes- the state of flux in which all organic matter is caught.
