In the Dark

72 In the Dark drawings installed for Ex-femina at Westbeth Artists Housing, New York, NY, June 2024

We live in a world that strives to consume the entirety of our time and attention. Work, play, social media, and the 24/7 news cycle, in an era of seemingly unparalleled uncertainty, fear, and darkness, cry out for our attention at all hours of the day and night. Our ability to seek refuge in a place where all that can be ignored, turned off, and tuned out is vital to our very self-preservation. The In the Dark drawings are about our attempts to find that space.
