Blackouts exist in a state of outage. Each originates with a line drawing translated into raised forms that snake across pitch-dark grids—vascular systems, capillary networks, the body's own infrastructure rendered as surface and shadow. Visibility is fully outsourced. The grid is down.
The linear forms cross boundaries and complete circuits, connecting compartments that were never meant to touch. They are technically embossed but feel more like scarring—reliefs in both senses: topographical and emotional. The structure is there, fully formed, load-bearing. But it needs to be approached sideways.
I've lived in this city for decades and somehow I've missed every major New York City blackout- always somewhere else when the city went dark. These paintings model those conditions: a landscape navigated by silhouette, shadow, glint. A logic board of the void.
