Municipal Bonds

Cécilia Andrews | Indivisible Particles

Municipal Bonds is pleased to present Indivisible Particles, our debut exhibition with Chilean-French artist Cécilia Andrews. Teeming with abstract portraits—extolling the gaze, lauding the hand—Andrews’ works on paper are articulated by collage. Cut-out and reassembled faces, with blurred contours on found papers, speak to the construction, deconstruction and reconstruction of identity—mutable as nature, united as humankind.
