This work has two sides

1. Does "this work has two sides" in the following context mean "Kaye’s self-generated artworks can be divided into two separate groups: 1. paintings, drawings, and photographs, and 2. artworks with contentious or provocative subject matter"?

Context:

A similar sensibility is therefore at work in directing both advertisements and film, which is deployed through similar defamiliarising and elegiac devices in either case. Although tied to a script and ultimately compromised by the studio’s last say on the cut, Kaye’s virtuosity with the visual language is clearly imprinted on the film, just as firmly as it is on his advertisements. The question that now remains is how the sensibility and aesthetic described in this sort of work fits with Kaye’s self-generated artworks. Broadly speaking, this work has two sides: there is a body of paintings, drawings and photographs (reproductions of which Kaye intends to publish in book form) that Kaye has been working on over a period of some fifteen years and which he describes in terms of ‘diary’. On the other hand, Kaye is better known to the art world and its followers for the sensationalist staging of works dealing with contentious or provocative subject matter that he produced during the years 1996–1998. These works were a consciously driven attempt to break into the art world and to establish Kaye as a significant player in the field.

Yes. His self-generated works were the last thing mentioned before "this" but I see your problem. Pronouns can
