"Dark Matter" is a series comprised of abstract pieces that erupt from the idea of a "hypothetical form that appears not to interact with light". Balls of energy are the focal point of each piece as a play on black Sumi on White sumi (and vice versa) dance along the surface creating an ironic play on light, shadow, and depth. The circular loops in “Sol Survivor” mimics the sun (sol) and in the gloomy Seattle, the sun is rarely seen so a mental act of survival can be pivotal.
