Bryce is interested in examining how visual and written media create and convey a perception of a country, a people or an historical event.
He adopts a drawing style that is reminiscent of mid 20th century comic strips and re-presents printed material he finds, from political propaganda to promotional literature.
Through this process of copying, he highlights the ways in which facts are constructed, culture is described and history is reported.
Through his reproductions he questions the credibility of the printed page.
