One of the most compelling aspects of Bonnie’s work is her pursuit of abstraction. Her approach moves beyond the confines of representational photography, seeking to distill nature into its purest forms. more
In our society, emotions are often "suppressed." We are no longer connected to our bodies, to our deepest feelings; we live in our heads. This disconnects us from ourselves and our environment. Conscious photography aims to reconnect us to our sensations and emotions in the present moment. more
After success with carbon ink printing by Cone Editions, I noticed they had a lot of photogravure classes and I was curious. How would photogravure compare to carbon ink? Does it look different? Would it get more attention? Is it more durable? more
But the outcomes, the benefits of having those conversations, the benevolence taking root, that I am made better by having such conversations, and the stories that I have made from them in my images must be shared. more
