 His films "Furniture Poetry"(1999) and 'While Darwin Sleeps' (2004) closely resemble Jan Švankmajer's animation 'Historia Naturae, Suita' (1967)

In addition to directing and animating, Bush pioneered a technique seen in a number of his films, including "The Albatross".The technique involves scratching frame by frame directly into the surface of colour filmstock over live action footage, creating an animated sequence which resembles traditional wood engraving.Since 2002 Bush has increasingly focused on time lapse portraits of people and more conventional animation including a collaboration with artist Lisa Milroy which produced "Geisha Grooming" (2003).
