Darkness Sculptures Statement
Darkness Sculptures are a series of sculptures begun (and sometimes completed) in pure darkness without any visual assistance of any sort. Many of the original darkness sculptures were also destroyed in the dark, having never been seen by human eyes, including those of the artist. Later works in the series were brought into the light before being destroyed. Still others were refined before destruction. No Darkness Sculpture can be refined and completed, for at that point it would cease to be a Darkness Sculpture. Very few sculptures begun in the dark have the distinction of losing their titles as Darkness Sculptures. The Art of Darkness Sculpture is not about the final product - it is about the experience itself. Those sculptures presented in this slideshow remain unfinshed or have been destroyed.
