Layered Figure Drawings

These drawings are formed through overlapped renderings of bodies. Out of the configurations of figures grow unexpected relationships and encounters. As the figures overlap, each individual rendering of the figure becomes more obscured. Parts of figures merge into new versions of form. They become abstracted and blurred forms, transparent and indefinite.

I am interested in the psychological and physical relationships that form between these many versions of the body. Are these loving or violent, perverse or celebratory?
