“What happens to a room when the lights go out? What hides inside the darkness in those empty spaces? My work focuses on the elusive shadows and shapes that hide just outside of our view. I believe there are beings that will latch on to those environments and thrive off of the dark and despair. Living amongst us in their own purgatory. Through the use of halftones, positive/negative space, and my medium of cut paper, I reveal what is hidden in those spaces. By carving away at the paper piece by piece, I can bring to light those very figures that hide within the darkness.”
