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.
