File:B. Collura Rebuke Two Months Until Fifty 2020.jpg

Sculpture by Bonnie Collura, Rebuke: Two Months Until Fifty (2020). The image illustrates a key later body of work by Bonnie Collura in the 2010s and 2020s when she turned to hybrid, soft-form constructions made with found fabric and other materials. These works evoke a sense of ever-changing identity through tangles of joined and repurposed quilted fabric (often repositionable) that challenge masculine sculptural norms emphasizing stable, solid figurative form. This image presents a hybrid work employing sewn, cast and carving methods. This body of work and individual piece were publicly exhibited in prominent exhibitions and discussed by critics in major art journals and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key later body of work by Bonnie Collura in the 2010s and 2020s: her hybrid and soft-form constructions made with found fabric and other materials that evoke a sense of ever-changing identity. The sewn construction methods of these works match those of her solid figures (thin-shelled cast or sculpted pieces fitted or "fused" together), while also challenging the masculine norm of stable figurative form. Her later exhibitions have often juxtaposed sewn, cast and carved works (some employing all three methods) with shared formal properties, shapes, and modes of expression. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this later body of work, which has brought Collura continuing recognition through exhibitions, coverage by major critics and publications and institutional attention. Collura's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
