雕塑家罗娜·庞迪克（Rona Pondick）运用身体语言，特别是她自己的身体制作模型，创作出碎片化和混合形态的作品，极具超现实、隐喻和心理暗示。她作品的核心是蜕变的过程，她为神话中半人半兽的生物创作出了当代的对应物，像埃及的斯芬克斯、希腊的半人马乃至弗兰兹·卡夫卡（Franz Kafka）的巨型昆虫。她“意识到重力、重量及物质性如何影响存在”，并将其与作品结合，又探索手工雕刻、三维电脑模型及传统金属铸造工艺。
在她的早期作品中，庞迪克利用无生命的物件，像床、鞋和婴儿奶瓶，创造出令人不安的解剖学形态，以及一系列依照艺术家自身铸造的牙齿，并嵌入树脂、蜡或灰尘制成的嘴巴中。1998年，她以自己的头部铸件作为植物及动物混合体的基础，设置在麝香鼠、狗、狐狸和猴子闪闪发亮的不锈钢身体上，或是夹在树枝上。在随后的作品中，她一直利用相同的铸件，改变尺寸和材质，生成万千变化。她作品的交错比例常使人迷惑，例如她将巨大的拇指取代手臂，或者将极小的头颅变成了盆景上的芽。在她近期作品中，艺术家继续以混合形态创作，同时将颜色引入她以树脂及丙烯酸制作的头部模型，并将大部分模型包裹在透明方块中。
庞迪克出生于布鲁克林，目前于纽约生活和工作。她在耶鲁大学艺术学院（Yale School of Art）师从里查·塞拉（Richard Serra），于1977年获艺术硕士学位，并认识了她的另一半，画家罗伯特·法因图赫（Robert Feintuch）。 1988年，她为纽约雕塑艺术中心（Sculpture Center, New York）创作了场域特定装置作品《床》（Beds），次年于波士顿当代艺术学院博物馆（Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston）举办个展。此后，她于多个大型艺术机构举办个人展览，包括耶路撒冷以色列博物馆（Israel Museum, Jerusalem）（1992年）、布鲁克林博物馆(Brooklyn Museum)（1996年）、萨尔茨堡现代博物馆 (Rupertinum, Salzburg)（1999年）、博洛尼亚现代美术馆 （Galleria D'Arte Moderna Bologna）及荷兰格罗宁根博物馆（Groninger Museum, Groningen, Netherlands）（均为2002年）、密歇根布卢姆菲尔德希斯克兰溪艺术博物馆（Cranbrook Art Museum, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan）（2003年）、克里夫兰当代艺术博物馆（Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland）（2004年）以及纽约罗斯林拿索县美术馆（Nassau County Museum of Art, Roslyn, New York）（2010年）。 2009年，她为麻萨诸塞州伍斯特艺术博物馆（Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts）策划了《罗娜·庞迪克：物体的蜕变》展览，将她的雕塑作品与公元前2000年至今的藏品进行对话。而近年参与的群展包括：亚特兰大高等艺术博物馆（High Museum, Atlanta）（2020年）、沃尔夫斯堡艺术博物馆（Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg）（2020年）、费城艺术博物馆（Philadelphia Museum of Art）（2019年）、里尔美术宫（Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille）（2019年）、达拉斯纳希尔雕塑中心（Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas）（2019年）和波特兰艺术博物馆（Portland Museum of Art）（2019年）。
