Dark I.


2019    16 x 20"   acrylic / mixed media / graphite

An exploration and perspective shift of the beauty of the absence of light. The deep reach of the night, a new moon, the quiet, the stillness... all inspire reflection, restoration, growth, and regeneration.

This piece is incredibly unique from the other 23 in the collection in that it was completed from start to finish at the exct moment of the New Moon in Virgo on September 20, 2019. Further, very little light was used in the studio space, to lean into imperfection, obscurity, darkness, and it wasnt until around sunrise each day that the night’s work was revealed. This piece explores the silent transit of a dark moon across the night sky, and a total absence of light symbolic of renewal, rebirth, and restart.
