Melanie Bonajo says that her ideas are “link jingles” in her head. What are your ideas like? In order to make sense of the jingles she has in her head, Melanie Bonajo gives them structure. She questions herself, which leads to her questioning us. She makes photographs just to record her jingles. It’s a picture diary of the most bizarre form.
I attempt to shape awareness by giving expression to the contradictions of contemporary life -with dignity. Re-contextualising and reframing the world through my lens, I attempt to leave a feeling of something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar or inexplicable. I create wonder with vengeance about the true nature of things, from my point of view. This outcome – art - must hit someone with its mental and emotional power so you can feel what you see. You can not turn your head away.
