Oh Say Can You Cell
mixed media on fiber
“...Deborah Bein’s ‘Oh Say Can You Cell’ poetically uses the quilt to
tell a modern story about the fabric of our communities and how we are grasping
for connectivity in a time when we do not sit together and talk while our hands
are busy working toward a unified goal. Rather, there is loss,
disconnection, fragmentation, and a landscape littered with the evidence of our
desires.”
-Charly Swing
Founder, Infinity Art Gallery
