Bonnie Mustoe-Whitehill

Bonnie is a mixed media artist, curious about the psychology of touch and play. This curiosity guides her interest in creating tactile objects for the benefit of the user, whether that is visual, mental or physical. Living alongside nature, in the Cotswolds, Devon and Cornwall, has inspired her to use natural tactile forms as starting points within her work.

Bonnie focuses her creative practice largely on casting techniques, working with various materials, such as glass, fine metals and rubbers to create tactile objects which encourage the user to explore with their hands as well as their eyes.

One of the key focal points within Bonnie’s work is exploring material qualities and how they can be applied and used deceptively in conjunction with unassuming natural forms. She has found that designing work with surprising properties engages the audience and creates a sense of playfulness and intrigue.
