	About the work

“

My concern with biological and cultural identity has found its visual expression in the imagery of the human cell. Created of collaged pieces of photo-based laser copies and acrylic paint on elliptical plywood forms, my new work uses fragmented images of the body, cells, and cellular structures, which are abstracted into evocative compositions. My visual language is based on the cell’s ability to divide, mutate, and regenerate, and I build on this theme throughout the work. For me, the cell is a powerful symbol of the self.”B.F.
