Mosaic

Mosaic presents a compendium of photographs, including landscapes and portraits, all drawn from Sean Palfrey's extensive archive.

Mosaic, the sixth and final volume in Sean Palfrey's photography series, is filled with some of the author's favorite images--an Indonesian fishing boat at rest on a sandy beach in the glow of dusk, a tangle of leaves that look, for a second, like the bared teeth of a fearsome beast, a bright and joyful children's mural, replete with birds and rainbows, and the grey-blue and apricot tints of a canyon wall, scoured by time and weather.

Sean Palfrey has had an illustrious career as a pediatrician, Faculty Dean at Harvard University, and Professor of Clinical Pediatrics and Public Health at Boston University. Simultaneously, Palfrey has spent a lifetime exploring the boundaries of image-making through photography, with his work as a doctor informing his practice. In addition to being a teacher, dean, and clinician, he served as president of the Massachusetts Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and he has been a legislative advocate for child health programs and policies since the 1970s. Palfrey exhibits his photography in solo and group shows frequently in the USA.
