In all works of art, there is a ratio between the external world of appearances, and the inner world of experience. The composition to the right was made from a monoprint and stencils to represent an inner experience rather than to duplicate the actual appearances of things in the visible world. In all art, there is a ration between that which is felt within oneself, and that which is experienced outside of oneself.

In contrast, I relied heavily on what I saw external to myself in the self-portraits below. But even in these images, based on my outer appearance, an inner dimension of my identity is evident. In art, there is always a ratio between what is felt and what is seen.
