The performer emerges in the work of Sian Bonnell

This essay uses the artists PhD and also features work made on a residency at the British School of Rome, funded through Photoworks, UK. It considers how over time she has appeared in her own work and has increasingly become a performance artist. It considers her work as a women artist and how her practice sits in the history of feminist art. It forms part of a longer on going series of articles looking at contemporary women photographers working in the UK.
