"This piece is about something in the night - when we are up at night trying to solve problems and reflect on what's happening around us and in us and in between us. The right half is showing the thinking side, the left half the intuitive somatically joined self - and the scale is showing the difference in how dominant the mind is, yet the face is also thinly painted as a ghost and fading. The smaller figure has this neon orange energy coming into and out of the garden outside. There's a tall mountain like form with a long ladder - indicating that the destination is accessible only with some effort to climb down" –Betsy Walton
