My practice is rooted in the excavation and elevation of utilitarian objects to make visible what has become habituated in our built environments. This stems from an ongoing exploration into the relationship between an item’s value and the environment in which it is presented. I use these functional items as materials to form traditionally fiber-based […]

Encounters with others leave residual marks often invisible and within the confines of human memory.

I examine objects as a part of my methodology and as subjects for self-exploration […]

“Bonny spent months elbow and knee deep at the Recology transfer center, followed by sorting, riveting, soldering and painting her finds at Recology’s on-site studio,” Lisa Smith, board president of Astoria Visual Arts, wrote. “She has elevated cast-offs, debris, rubbish and assorted detritus — whatever you want to call it — into eminently collectible pieces […]

I am a visual artist working with traditional and alternative photographic processes. For this residency I am looking forward to exploring new forms of visual representation. As a self-identified Witch, my research into spiritual belief systems leads me to discoveries that are often incorporated into my artistic practice. My modality is to examine objects as […]

I’m a Bay Area native interested in art and design. From a young age, I was intrigued with seemingly incongruous components coming together in complex arrangements. In fact, picking through recycling for odds and ends to hot glue and tape together was a hobby of mine from second grade onwards, so in many ways, it’s […]
