Come Darkness is an homage to Winter light and a chance to welcome in the changing season. Highlighting the work of 26 artists from all over the globe I wanted to create an installation/altar where one might come, stand and ponder for a short while. What I have enjoyed the most in this installation is to see the ease at which the gradations of tone, color and subject matter all seem to flow one piece to the next.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our installation and as ever, come darkness, we are ready. —MAV
