"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. “Dusty Rose Colored Glasses” alludes to the idea that life sometimes looks a lot prettier than what reality may actually portray.
