Light Explorations
of a Darker Nature
Description
A high energy athletic piece with rough elegance
and sharp edges. A paradise is lost and regained.
The overwhelming sense of desire and tension propels the piece forward into a progression that fluctuates between heightened danger and heightened beauty.
