Peter Fetterman Photography Gallery, USA (label verso)
"Bernhard treats all of her subjects, whether they are nudes, shells, or advertising products, as objects worthy of detailed observation. The close-up rendering lends a psychological element that aligns her work with both Surrealism and with the formalist tenets of 1930s modernist photography. In combining graphic elegance with sensual subject matter, Bernhard achieves a delicate balance between compositional precision and evocative sensuality."
