By Patrick Bell. Patrick Bell is a sculptor from Pittsburgh, PA who currently teaches at MICA, the Community College of Baltimore County, Baltimore School for the Arts, and Baltimore Clayworks. He creates entities that materialize his relationship to health and the anxieties that surround it. Illness, including persistent struggle with identity and body dysmorphia, as well as maladaptive and destructive self-soothing strategies, manifests itself in his art as metaphysical and anatomical explorations. Fingers, organs, torsos, and other locations both inside and outside the human body become symbolic representations of sensations and moments.
