This work investigates microscopic cellular division. At its most basic level, cell division is a symbolic comparison to the process of printmaking. I am interested in things that lie beneath the surface. Living organisms may seem healthy but on the cellular level, the active cells may be mutating. Cells multiply, just as prints are multiples of the plate they come from.

4 stages of cancer, 6 stages of mitosis. I discuss exponential growth within this series. I explain the stages of cell division with simple basic biology illustrations in and above the surface of the paper, as it would be explained to a newly admitted patient. Starting from a healthy human specimen, I illustrated cancer growth. Breaking through the second stage, growing towards the third stage, in which the effects of chemo-therapy and radiation have started to take their toll on the body.
