Living Between the Darkness and the Light
“Living Between the Darkness and the Light” is a collection of my works old and new that provide glimpses into my life with depression. On a personal level these images are therapeutic. They allow me to give these feelings a name and bring them into the light. On a social level, I want to shed some light on the stigma of mental health issues. I encourage viewers to both look at and feel these works. Not just to understand myself, but to understand themselves and what lives behind their masks.
