Tyler Brett, Every Public Building & Some People in Bruno SK circa 2011. Self-published series of line drawings chronicling every public building and some people in the town of Bruno, Saskatchewan.
Bruno is a rural prairie town of roughly six hundred people located on the Canadian Interior Plains surrounded by a vast, rolling agricultural landscape of canola, flax, wheat and barley, about 90 kilometres east of Saskatoon. With 20th century false-front buildings servicing it's residents and surrounding family farms, this iconic small town is an enduring example of a ma & pop, locally owned and operated Main Street. Without big box department stores, parking lots or malls, downtown Bruno punctuated by a functioning grain elevator and active rail line, is the site of all street life. Some of the drawings in this series include shopkeepers or members of the community who were associated with the buildings or services depicted. Tyler Brett lived on Main Street while working for Neil Manderscheid's one man construction company and occasionally as a local shopkeeper at the Bruno Arts Bank along side his wife Kerri Reid.
