BONNIE KOZEK
Since 2012 to the present, Kozek has devoted herself to the practice of fine art. Her works reflect an arousing awakening of a perfectly flawed soul searching for the elusive wholeness of mind, body and spirit. The works therefore manifest the artist’s fervor to navigate disparate realities: the terrestrial, whereupon she digs – no matter how hard the ground, how deep she must muscle, or how dirty her hands – to unearth what has been secreted below; and the firmaments, whereupon, she ascends rung by rung – no matter how easy or difficult the climb – to the heavens, sets her head in the clouds, and searches out the written and/or spoken ciphers of the rapturous.
About Bonnie Kozek’s background
Previously, Kozek has worked independently and collaboratively in the fields of literature – fiction, nonfiction and poetry – filmmaking, performance art, and perfumery. She has written two noir thrillers, a book of poetry in collaboration with Dutch/American artist Jan Frank, and participated in readings and Q & As in a number of venues. Additionally, Kozek has written biographies (for private publication) with art collectors, philanthropists and spiritual leaders. Her film work, including collaboration with physicist, Lloyd G. Cross, resulted in the first continuous running 3-D (holographic) short film, which premiered at the opening of the Museum of Holography in Manhattan. As researcher and sound editor, Kozek worked on feature films and documentaries in Hollywood and New York, including the documentary “Hearts & Minds”, which received an Academy Award. She has also written, directed and edited short films: “Black Bed” (inspired by the work of Italian filmmaker, Michelangelo Antonioni) and “Striking Impressions” (for TV’s Saturday Night Live).
