Bruce Reynolds is an established Australian artists, known for his photographic and sculptural works as well as numerous public commissions in Australia and in Singapore. The works presented at Phpto LA 2008 are photographic images applied onto linoleum assemblages (collages) once part of Australian households which the artist rescues from derelict or abandoned buildings. These materials are a container of everyday memories that Reynolds uses as a background to investigate urban landscapes, thus bringing together the domestic/interior and the landscape/exterior, questioning the creation of the urban space and the forces shaping everyday life.
