'I find from nature, or objects cast aside by man.
I see them as being found as if they were lost, waiting patiently for me to happen upon them.
The point, the moment of discovery is when they have revealed, through degradation or oxidation a new life.
I re-imagine their reality, introducing a sense of the surreal. Sometimes it’s a solo object I present,
or an assemblage to tell a tale. More often than not they are accompanied by a story, telling of its new imagining'

Sometimes it’s a solo object I present, or I create an assemblage to tell a tale. More often than not they are accompanied by a story, telling of its new imagining.

'Each work becomes a vessel of reconciliation - between permanence and decay, control and surrender, love and loss.
In connecting us to what we have forgotten yet still ache for, Bell achieves what few can:
he reanimates the lost, reimaginesthe possible, and redefines beauty as the fragile intersection
between memory and becoming. The unwavering dreamer shows that significance lies not only in romance
and re-invention, but in preservation and transformation - in revealing what the world could have been.
The power of his worklies in its rare ability to transform remnants into resurrection -
to show that what has been lost can still return, transfigured. Through his practice, Bell reaffirms art’s oldest
and most human purpose: to connect, to endure,to make sense of a world that is at once exquisite and condemned'
