Bonnie Hutchison

Bonnie Hutchison's practice explores fantastical elements of the natural world with a focus on technical refinement and cohesive colour palettes. Creating original characters, her work explores detailed themes and biologically grounded designs to relay internal narratives. Her practice explores her identity as an asexual neurodivergent woman, and experiences of uncertainty and grief under neoliberal capitalism. Her primary mediums involve drawing on paper using coloured pencil, watercolour, and markers, and small-scale clay sculptures. Her recent work ‘Two Artists: Mother Nature and The Human’ situates the viewer in constant relation to the natural world, creating an encounter where visitors happen upon stones half buried in beachside sand.
