Western Disturbances is a homage to Bruce Nauman, a contemporary artist ranked amongst the most influential creative minds of today. His first show was in 1966 at the Nicholas Wilder Gallery located in LA, where his innovations had disturbed many of the onlookers. As an artist, his interests led him to utilize diverse materials to create photography, performance art, videos, installations and neon tubing. Nauman is most notably known to use neon in his pieces, especially with the play of words. His words are made of spiraling neon, exposing the wistful irony assembled in his work. One of the most endearing things about Nauman is his ability to try something new, regardless of negative opinions from the audience.
