The physical representation of Mel Williamson's artistic expression through paint appeals to our sense of touch, as the oil paint's tactile and slippery nature is embraced during the creation process. The background remains connected, releasing only glimpses of the forms, creating a sense of tension and movement. 

Williamson's goal is to capture the emotions conveyed through the figures, expressed through their unconscious gestures. There is a voyeuristic chain of observation present: the unaware subject, the artist, and the viewer. These expressive works of artistic observation, elevate and validate brief and humble moments, allowing others to bear witness to the beauty of day to day existence.
