Participants met weekly to clean, cut and shred #2 plastic milk jugs, water jugs and other plastic containers using her portable recycling machines to shred the plastic. We then added pigment to the shredded plastic and used an extruder to make waves. The group estimates that it took at least two milk jugs to create one wave line. We chose to represent flowing ocean waves as a reminder that our discarded plastic often ends up as ocean trash. The reality is that plastic does not decompose, but instead breaks down into micro plastics, taking approximately 450 years to break down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/61258de0-6172-474c-873a-0c810aa3c4d3/10_Bernard.jpg Projects - Make it stand out The Shape of Things to Come upcycled plastic, 36”x144”x6”, Cove Street Arts, Portland, ME, 2020 After a plastic collection campaign, I shredded and extruded plastic, transforming it into a colorful and malleable material which use to create sculptural installations. My goal is to engage, create, educate and inspire by turning trash into art. The Shape of Things to Come was the first such project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/3d1f015a-a36d-41b5-b1ac-fc2f59d5dcfd/Bernard_BYOB_2018.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Bring Your Own Bag 144”x30”x 8”, Rockland Public Library, Rockland, ME, 2018 Composed of 300 colorful, reusable, nylon shopping bags, this sculptural installation celebrates the city passing a ban on single-use plastic bags in an effort to reduce plastic waste. The installation will be on view until the ban passed when all 300 bags were given away for free to the public. This project was made possible with a grant from the Maine Arts Commission. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/388e65cb-597c-448a-8cad-7fe577629f06/Bernard_Amphibious_Tiny_House.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Amphibious Tiny House 10’x8’x24’, University of New England, Biddeford, ME, 2017 In the fall of 2016, I presented a challenge to a group of students at the University of New England, where I was the artist in residence, to design a tiny house that would not only float, but could be trailered or parked anywhere. A collaborative team of students met weekly. We brainstormed ideas and made contributions based on interest, skills and abilities. This multidisciplinary project required input from about as wide a range of departments as one could imagine: Marine Science, Ocean Studies, Aquaculture and Aquarium Science, Environmental Sciences, Business & Entrepreneurship, Math, Physics, Boat Building, Creative Writing, Communications, Education and of course, Art & Design. Collectively, we conceived of an Amphibious Tiny House with a footprint of 8' x 16' that is totally off the grid, complete with solar panels, battery storage, a composting toilet, rain collection and filtration system, a sun shower, aquaponics and a see through bottom panel. Considering the limited volume, every square inch would be utilized efficiently, be multi-functional, be well designed and aesthetically pleasing. Other guiding and limiting factors to consider have been building codes, harbor restrictions, vehicle size restrictions, DMV requirements (like lights and blinkers), the availability, sustainability and cost of our building materials. In 2017, we built the Amphibious Tiny House and donated it to the College of the Atlantic. This project has been made possible with support from the Ellis-Beauregard Foundation, the Maine Arts Commission and the University of New England. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/be2ab377-adb4-4078-9983-611f0fe6f310/Bernard_Clean+Ocean+Wave+Sculpture.jpg Projects COWS: Clean Ocean Wave Sculpture ocean debris, stainless steel wire, 2016 One of my big projects as the artist in residence at UNE was to create a clean ocean waves sculpture. The idea came about when I learned of an International Coastal Cleanup Day and a Marine Pollution class picking up ocean debris at local beaches. Instead of disposing of the trash properly, they gave it to me for a sculptural installation. The goal of the project was to engage the UNE community and raise awareness about just how much ocean debris washes up on our shores and how vitally important it is for us to keep our ocean clean. The Clean Ocean Wave Sculpture is now on permanent display at the Marine Science Center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/e2ef77f4-2841-4441-ba98-536935cef033/Bernard_WavePhenomena.jpg Projects - Make it stand out Wave Phenomena wax, dye, steel, disc diameters range between 18” and 60”, commission for the University of New England, 2016 The Wave Phenomena installations were inspired by images of sound vibrations in the book Cymatics by Hans Jenny. Jenny, a Swiss scientist, meticulously recorded sound vibrations at various frequencies made visible through the use of powders, pastes and liquids. With a particular interest in the natural phenomena of the movement of sound made visible, I have attempted to capture this vibrational matrix of sound patterns in motion as an installation of floating discs that one can view from above and below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/62e7f57b-5e1f-40f6-8876-6145ceeb9968/IMG_3096.JPG Projects - Make it stand out Hydrogen Atomic Orbitals ceramic, paint, nails, wood, sizes range between 24” and 72” in height, 2015 An arrangement of thousands of 1” diameter black and red ceramic balls, clustered in patterns, hanging from the gallery walls. Typically known for her kinetic sculpture, informed by the basic laws of motion, Bernard finds inspiration for this installation in the beauty of mathematical functions. Having chanced upon patterns made by hydrogen atoms while conducting a Google search on Quantum Mechanics, Bernard offers the viewer a simple and tangible way of visualizing submicroscopic behavior of electrons in matter. Imagine cross sections of hydrogen atoms, protons and electrons orbiting around, magnified a bazillion times, following an orderly natural system as familiar to us as the Fibonacci Sequence or Golden Mean. https://www.kimbernard.com/collect daily 0.75 2020-01-12 https://www.kimbernard.com/kinetic-sculpture daily 0.75 2020-03-27 https://www.kimbernard.com/new-page daily 0.75 2020-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/1585355467703-B55JXRVYL5BO5LOIU2L8/3_Bernard_50_Springs_2015.jpg Project Draft - Kinetic Sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/1585355618028-T4Y3RC69MM4IWOE3UJUC/Bernard_BYOB_2018+%281%29.jpg Project Draft - Installations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/1585414244457-V2U4B36YU7WGGXE9J567/Bernard_Hydrogen_Atomic_Orbitals_4_48x48_2014.jpg Project Draft https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/1585414286474-0LGNDQW32NEHKQ38HQ8S/Bernard_Epicycloid_36x48_2010+%281%29.jpg Project Draft - Pendulum Paintings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/1585414353444-T3885WDBGJAJC5UTW377/Bernard_Quadrivium_25x25_2018-300dpi.jpg Project Draft - Shaped Paintings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/1560995317931-8ZJOX7PF38RUX3WIOD8Q/Bernard_Taproot+II_24x24_2019.jpg Project Draft - Finger Paintings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/1584832738571-QJYYD6INCKVHHFQY24ZM/edea1837b6a468651d0f1582c699aae6.jpg Project Draft - Amphibious Tiny House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/1585414438850-VKWRTNZALY8QDL0D6NCJ/94969759-used-plastic-crushed-prepared-to-be-re-melted-into-recycled-plastic-pellets.jpg Project Draft - P.U.M.P. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/1585414529965-ZYJ083FMUMWPCY1FQWZE/Bernard_Chakra_20_25x31_2012.jpg Project Draft - Chakra https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/1585857003995-TAP8WNAH0D4FUZLM8NI1/Bernard_Hyperbolic_Skirt_Detail.jpg Project Draft - Hyperbolics https://www.kimbernard.com/chakra-1 daily 0.75 2020-03-28 https://www.kimbernard.com/hyperbolics daily 0.75 2020-04-02 https://www.kimbernard.com/popupcycler daily 0.75 2024-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/4ec54eba-e262-4211-91b0-062be85c09eb/Kim+PUMP+Kickstarter.jpg PopUpCycler - Turning TRASH into ART with the PopUpCycler As a visiting artist, we’ll embark on a DIY recycling project and turn your trash into art.

Why? Our environment is one of the most critical global issues we all face today. If we don't address climate change, global warming, our increasing carbon footprint, overconsumption and the depletion of natural resources we'll suffer the consequences. Waste reduction and disposal are issues that we can all address locally by reducing our consumption of goods made of raw materials and committing to recycling whenever possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae07a94ee17598796becb59/a62e627b-a361-40b9-8cdd-bcb03d6d0f68/Kim+Bernard+at+CMCA+with+Machines.jpg PopUpCycler - How? Through grant writing and crowd sourcing, I’ve acquired four plastic recycling machines that are compact and portable, allowing me to create upcycled plastic sculptural installations in schools, arts centers and public settings. The machines are only one component of a much larger initiative... to create art using recycled materials that transcend their history. I hope that all of my installations are first captivating, mesmerizing, inspiring and only subsequently does the viewer know that the materials were recycled.

trailer my machines anywhere, allowing me to create upcycled plastic sculptural installations in schools, arts centers, neighborhood communities and public settings where the local community will
