Cover image: Portrait of a Human by Michele Banks. Watercolor on clayboard panels, 2012. Each of the 16 panels depicts a normal type of cell found in the human body—blood, bone, brain, eye, hair, skin, and muscle cells, to name a few. Only one panel has two cell types—the egg and sperm, which were meeting at the time. The artist considers this the “baby picture” of her emblematic human.
