Jake Bonnell
Fine Art Sculpture

Growing up in Seattle, Washington Jake Bonnell's first experiences with sculpture were creating people out of clay. The reactions he received were what inspired him to continue creating new work, and still remain a strong motivation to this day.

Bonnell has found that challenging himself to learn new mediums and different processes has always been exciting. The artist says,

"Creating sculpture is about expressing a thought or vision and solving the problem of how they translate into different materials. I feel that in my sculpture there is a balance between techniques that I know will work and experimentation. Understanding the materials and how far I can push them is very important. Often, when I am selecting a block of wood or stone to carve, the form is already revealing itself to me. I'm not sure what creates this sensation, but it's as if someone is telling me what to do and I just have to listen."
