Welcome To MELANIE HONEBONE
Melanie Honebone is a Wales-based fine artist. She often works in series, providing visual responses to external stimuli such as literature, science, and music. Until late 2018 she exhibited her artworks nationally and internationally under the name Melanie Ezra. Her collages and photographic works have shown at Studio Voltaire London, as well as galleries in Germany, Italy, Brazil, and several shows in New York and in Minnesota.
​
Recent works have evolved her practice to include three dimensional mixed media art forms based on dolls, mannequins, and the human form. The theme is always deconstruction and reconstruction, whether this is through a photograph or through her mixed-media works. Melanie openly describes herself as a ‘renegade arts experimentalist’ and is happy dabbling in anything that pushes her work to the limit and broadens her own potential. In her spare time she produces music videos and photography for Stone Letter Media, is attempting to learn Welsh, and likes to stroke cats.

Paper Dolls (2020 – )
Pushing the art of collage into full-sized 3D constructs, Paper Dolls is an anarchistic blend of disciplines. Paper, clay, and paint adorn these figures in exploring the potential of a flawed reality. The fragility and uncertainty of each mixed-media sculpture is enhanced by an uncanny smile and perfect posture. Each figure intact and yet struggling within its own existence. This collection is on view at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir, Rhondda until the middle of June.
The Art of the Doll (2019-2020)
The Art of the Doll is an emerging series working and reworking doll heads with clay. The sculptural forms are temporary and exist only for the photograph before being destroyed and rebuilt in a different form. Uncanny personalities evolve, diverge, and reform. The potential of this series is infinite and limited only by the raw materials and my own imagination. Future artworks exist in a temporary present before quickly becoming only a digital memory.
