It's a beautiful thing, to watch someone completely dive in.  To watch someone fully immerse themselves in what they are doing, to live and create in the very second they're embracing.  I've had the great pleasure of watching Wes Bruce do this for the last two years.  From our first show with him at Cream, to Conspire, to the woods of UCSD and now to the California Center for the Arts.  Wes' true art is in the way that he lives his life, and thus everything he does and creates is an expression of that art.  Wes has the most contagious excitement and creative energy I've ever encountered, and it pleases me greatly to introduce his newest and by far largest project to date.

If Wes Bruce was trying to get famous for his art, the last thing he would do is collect a bunch of junk and spend time building forts in sewers and gulleys.  Wes is simply being a kid, and exploring his curiousities and passions, and from that comes an artform that resonates beyond compare.  Stay tuned for more updates on Wes' Giant Fort, and let's all take a cue from Mr. Bruce and his zest for life.

Wes' installation will open Saturday, August 14th at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido as a part of Leveled: An Interactive Expirement In Art.
