What is manifested by these paintings comes from the interaction between the figures and their position within the composition. In Unfolding Man, a female figure to the left of the painting, watches a group of figures that are a male figure's own projections or reflections. Beginning with the broken down figure at the far right of the painting (pushed almost to the point of abstraction) we gradually move from shapes and marks to a cluster or group of forms reminiscent of figures or the cumulative layers of the self. Between the polarity of fragmentation and a full form we witness a self diagnosis which mirrors itself, yielding a narrative that is about a relationship the painting has with the multi-layered structures of the individual's psyche, and a reflection on the transformative power of art.
