Martinez, GA
Yana Bondar is an artist from Augusta, GA, currently residing in Athens, GA. She graduated with a MFA in Ceramics at The Lamar Dodd School of Art: University of Georgia and a BFA from Augusta University.
Yana reflects on her catholic background and how the faith’s construct of womanhood affects her own relationship with femininity. The existential paradoxes she experienced as an asexual, aromatic with an indefinitely extended girlhood, are explored through patterns of self-destructive duality that pervades the nature of experience. Narrative emotional honesty and character/archetypal depiction in contemporary Japanese Manga commercial art are integral parts to her work. Yana juxtaposes aesthetic and theoretic aspects of this kind of ‘throwaway entertainment medium’ with western visual cultures of wealth and power.
