BoNE Show on the Road will now travel throughout new england for the next 2 years until the next bone show in 2011.

a small army of volunteers are necessary to pull this off. many thanks to our amazing team of volunteers who implemented our sustainable vision of this year's AIGA BoNE Show.

the best examples of these characters featured found materials. a discarded architectural model was laser cut, painted and transformed into the letter "S" and a junk skateboard with only 3 wheels becomes the letter "I". each character was included in a silent auction with all proceeds going to AIGA Boston.

our last strategy is involving the (design) community: in addition to shopping locally for many of the materials involved we also commissioned the characters shown here which spell the title of our show. these are sculptures of letters created by designers throughout new england.

mechanical connections were used as an alternative to harmful adhesives; this included: nailing, screwing, stapling
and even push-pinning.
