Description
This is the preliminary drawing for this piece, created for the "Character in Context" group show at the A.R. Mitchell Museum in Trinidad, CO spring 2025 curated by Elliot Lang The idea of light over darkness is one of our most classic story archetypes. Since childhood, I've often visualized negative thoughts and feelings as shadowy creatures, gathering in the dark corners of my mind. When they'd start to overwhelm me, I'd imagine a tiny light source forming in my center, burning brighter and brighter until it was strong enough to shatter them into pure energy.
