Beatrice Bonino’s background is in ancient languages and in particular in the duality – philosophical and grammatical (the- refore structural) – of the Mādhavīyadhātuvr̥ tti, an ancient commentary on the grammatical roots of Sanskrit. The vesti- ges of an attention towards the morphological and metaphy- sical doubleness of things can be gleaned between the fog-like layers of what look like elevations of materials which might have otherwise been lost. (…) In fact, it seems as if the stra- tified matter in Bonino’s compositions are memories now embodied through the works on view. The evanescent forms and materials employed by Bonino elude definition and are manipulated by the artist in an effort to verticalize and hang what would naturally rest differently.
