Printmaker Michael Ponce de Leon (1922�2006) became known for his metal collage intaglios, prints with an embossed quality that he achieved by pressing incised lines or shapes into paper or metal along with paint. This work�s title and Ponce de Leon�s comments on his philosophy of art suggest familiarity with Jung�s ideas: �Every creative artist is a unique individual who has his feet firmly planted in mid-air. He uses all his negative energies� tensions, anxieties and other vulnerabilities� and transforms them into rich reservoirs of positive forces, from which his art emerges carrying with it the mystery and wonder of the unknown.�
