These are some of the works from a solo show I did based upon the eponymous poem by Lord Byron. The poem details the end of the world caused by the cessation of light. In the course of making these pieces, I deliberately destroyed several pieces of my art including many one-of-a-kind pieces. I did this in order to try and find a sense of new creation from the destruction of something old. I detail the destructive process here: https://sandpaperdaisy.com/darkness/ And here is more on the show itself: https://sandpaperdaisy.com/2015/10/31/darkness-solo-show/
