Linda Bond
Reconnaissance
For over two decades, Linda Bond’s artwork has addressed issues of social concern. Pausing to examine the details of violent events as they unfold, most recently in the Middle East and South Asia, Bond both humanizes these tragedies and combats the numbing effects of a media-saturated culture. In addition to working with newspaper content, Bond uses the printed pages themselves as a source of raw material to create wall installations, woven floor mats and text-based drawings.

Since the 1980's, Afghan rug weavers have been constructing textiles with adapted icons of war into traditional geometric designs. Commonly referred to as “war rugs,” these folk objects have transformed over 30+ years of production to capture both an evolving presence of unrest and a perpetuated market interest.
