This started as a couple self-portraits. I proceeded to cut each one down the middle and reassembled each so it was 1/2" offset. I arranged and mounted both on an 18x24" sheet of heavy paperm but the resulting disfigurement was so disturbing to work with, I set it aside. A month later I looked at it again, altered the most disturbing face so some features were closer in alignment, leaving the others offset, and satisfied that it was workable, I also added more paper, enlarging it to merge and overlap different aspects of personality in a self-portrait.
So there's the clothed figure, the fleeting glances showing momentary self-doubt, and the insecure naked figure. I know it's about all our uncertainties abiding inside our courage. It isn't about multiple personalities but rather the layers of underlying emotions and insecurities that exist regardless of our bold appearance.
