These drawings begin in the dark. Worked in white oil pastel on black paper, each piece pulls something up from the surface — figures that are almost recognizable, structures that almost make sense, moments caught somewhere between thought and instinct.

The marks are immediate and unguarded. Nothing is refined here. A line goes where it needs to go. A figure stands, floats, dissolves. The black doesn’t recede — it participates, holding as much meaning as anything drawn into it.

Dark Matter is eleven by fourteen inches of paper. It is also whatever you bring to it.
