Munro attributes a great deal of his success to his thorough involvement along every stage of the installment, from his initial idea until the final construction of the site. Years of personal experience go into the creation of each new work, from his years of journaling to his past career experience as a light manufacturer. Using the world around him for reference, he tailors each exhibit to highlight and enhance the land instead of change it. Light based and site specific exhibits, such as Light at Sensorio, are both his area of expertise and his favorite to create.

The first Field of Light was created in the field behind Munro’s family home in Wiltshire, and since then he has installed large scale light exhibits around the world, including one in Uluru in 2016 to honor his initial inspiration.īritish artist Bruce Munro is best known for transforming art into an interactive experience with his immersive, large-scale installations. He captured his impressions of the landscape and its energy, heat and light in his journal and over a decade later, created a Field of Light as an embodiment of this experience.
