Inside Looking Out betrays an interest in the expansion and complication of the role of representational painting. The paintings work doubletime; each functions independently as a narrative object - a work of fiction whose structure carries an iconic hidden message- when presented together they create an objectification of liminality, a quality present in ritual activity whose subjects are, as described by anthropologist Victor Turner, "neither here nor there; they are betwixt and between the positions assigned and arrayed by law, custom, convention, and ceremony".
They hang facing each other. Spectators, situated between them, are encouraged to engage with feeling.
