Tara Bonner grew up
in
Kilmarnock,
a small town in
Virginia,
which is surrounded primarily by beautiful stretches of untouched land.
It was this that motivated her to create her series “Senseless
Deterioration.”
Tara
moved to
Philadelphia
to attend the Art Institute of Philadelphia, where she received her BS
in photography. After moving and rarely seeing even a slight bit of
untouched nature,
Tara
realized just how much we as humans lack the appreciation that we should
have of nature and its pureness.
Tara
saw more and more each day it becoming a norm for nature to be
senselessly exchanged for convenience of the consumers, major money
boosts, and for companies to dominate in their particular industries.
Tara
wanted to explore these ideas through image making as to appeal to a
larger audience in how big of a problem this really is becoming.
