In the Dark

Watercolor crayon and sumi ink on paper. Each work is 10" x 7".
In the Dark is an ongoing series of over 300 drawings. 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.
