Portland, Oregon artist Bonnie Meltzer makes very mixed media figurative and abstract constructions which transform everyday objects, crocheted wire, digital photographs and painted wood into textured layers of social commentary, personal history and humor.

Know Coal NO Coal
Window Installation
Blackfish Gallery
Portland, Oregon
Bonnie Meltzer has been totally involved in stopping the coal export that has been proposed to come through the Northwest (5 blocks from her home & garden) on their way to Asia from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming. Blackfish Gallery invited her to make a coal installation in one of their windows. Some photos here.
Coal export info and news on North Portland Coal Committee Facebook page here.
A wall sculpture for the Science and Math building was desgned and constructed by Meltzer with the help of 10 OES students. Almost all of the materials are found objects consisting mostly of computer and musical instument parts. Found wood lattice became a major part of the design and gave inspiration to the graph theme.
