Every cell in every living organism is enclosed in a double-layered membrane that helps regulate the life of the cell. Membranes define what is inside and what is outside. A membrane called skin encloses our physical body; it's what people call our 'birthday suit.' Even our psyches and societies have membranes, habits of thought and social customs defining 'us' as different from 'them.' Cell membranes also 'breathe' or allow movement between inside and outside, making sharing between cells possible. Without membranes there would be only one undifferentiated 'soup' of existence. With membranes, there is endless diversity
The large circular cell at the top is also the head of the entire human body with hands and a large inner cavity running from mouth to anus. Out of the mouth comes breath and then words, which take on a life of their own. Soon we are in the realm of mystery: a baby waiting to be born, sheltered under the umbrella-like leaves of a begonia plant. Squiggles...
"My painting takes off from nature inspired by science, especially from cell biology and botany. While much art depicts the world at the human scale (landscapes, portraits, apples in a bowl) I often start with cell membranes, the inside of cells, the silk spigots of spiders, lichens — the world of the tiny. By depicting natural forms in an imagined, mythical world, my paintings reveal the human psyche and its capacity to go beneath the surface of things; to experience beauty and awe and even fear; to understand that we humans are connected to all the other creatures on earth and even to the cosmos. I enjoy observing and reading about nature, but I am not a scientific illustrator in the conventional sense. I do study my subject matter...

Thank you so much for you message to me. Yes, the Membranes paintings has a resemblance to the Australian art. All those dots! I like you own work too.

I love this piece. From a mosaicist's point of view: the different shapes; especially the curves, and textures and colors are splendiferous! pat
Shoshanah Dubiner replied:
Dear Kevin/Pat- I'm so glad you love my Membranes1. I looked at your artwork of dramatic landscapes and people and loved your colors. Didn't see any evidence of a mosaicist. Thanks for taking time to write to me. Shoshanah.
