Very Mixed Media Constructions |
|
Crocheted Wire.....Digital Photography.....Recycled Computer Parts.....Painted Wood
Bonnie Meltzer is a Portland, Oregon artist who makes very mixed-media constructions from a variety of unusual materials: crocheted wire, recycled computer parts, painted surfaces and digital photography. The juxtaposition of all these materials and techniques makes for fascinating subject matter and rich surfaces. She uses a Macintosh computer both as a design tool and to make design elements. Along with her activities as an artist she lectures and writes about art and technology; the ethics of digital photography and art from recycled materials. She also designs web sites for other artists and arts organizations, including this one. |

Exhibiton at Beet Gallery 18 & NW Lovejoy, Portland Oregon June 4 - 27 Infomral Artist Talk, Saturday, June 27 Clothing Chronicles: This body of work ponders our connections to clothes in a series of mixed media constructions. Wood cut-outs embellished with found objects, crocheted wire and text are in the shape of garments. Another part of this series about clothes takes a new form for me. Actual articles of clothing - ties, underwear, uniforms, ballet shoes -- become part of paintings on canvas. Pictures of all the works in the exhibiton |
