I found this deconstructed tapestry online from a woman called Marilyn. This was an image of one of her grandchildren, distorted with no real identity aside from a smiling face and long hair. It is in black and white which could be reference to a memory. Aside from that, I can't interpret any more.
This next image has some very light figurative lines signifying an identity, which is overlaid upon French text, which translated say "Pornography for the plutocrats". This image is very obviously steeped in layers, with the artist's intent being that of a political nature. The medium that the figure is laid upon appears to be a French Newspaper, implying that news and media are the pornography for the upper class, maybe stocks and money. Painting by Guy Denning
The last artist (Henrietta Harris) in my list uses watercolor and gouache to create realistic figure, that melts apart, with special focus on the face. The figure's head slides off as though his head was some flotsam and a slight tide gently pulled it back to the current. This surreal approach to deconstructing a figure makes it seem as though the identity is loose, not definitive, that what makes a person a character is changing and cannot be definite at any one time.
