Britannie Bond Britannie Bond, has already lived in Las Vegas, Indiana, and San Francisco, before moving to New York City three years ago. Her photography has been her way of transcribing the magnitude of the city into smaller nuanced moments that focus more on the transcendence and spontaneity of her new surroundings. Britannie’s work has been featured in American Theater Magazine, on the cover of Phil Pickens’ debut album Sweet Tea Circus, and at Salt Space Gallery and Limner Gallery in New York. Her newest adventure, called the “Wilderness Project” translates these themes into an animal vocabulary exploring the dense and tangled wilderness of the city and its feral inhabitants. britanniebond.tumblr.com
