Dark Light
These images are rooted in my fondness for charcoal drawings and mezzotint prints. Such works invite me to slow down, to appreciate a delicate moment, and to accept what’s in front of me.
The print versions of these are intentionally small — 5”x5” on etching paper, inset with relief atop a larger sheet of etching paper.
Some of the images were captured on film, some using a Holga toy camera. Others are digital. Read about the inspiration for this series here.
