“Hybridized forms’

“Something#53’’ (class, plaster, wood), by Roberley Bell, in her show “Almost Knowing,’’ at Cove Street Arts, Portland, Maine, May 14-July 11.

She says:

“My sculptures are a conglomeration of contrasting elements, straddling the space between representation and abstraction. The dominant features of color, form, and material push against one another, expanding the potential for disparate materials to come together in new ways, creating hybridized forms. I am inspired by, and referential to, the natural world, blurring the line between the natural world and my own reimaginings of it.’’
