Bruce Munro: Sonoran Light at Desert Botanical Garden will showcase eight large-scale, light-based installations using an inventive array of materials and hundreds of miles of glowing fiber optic. Located throughout the Garden, Munro’s site-specific exhibition will reflect his unique interpretation of the Sonoran Desert.

A keen observer of the world around him, British artist Bruce Munro has recorded ideas and images in sketchbooks for more than 30 years, documenting his responses to stimuli such as music, literature, and science. His work combines his ideas with inventive results creating both temporary experiential artworks and intimate story-pieces.
