This series of paintings was based on meditations on candle light. I painted them during a particularly dark time in my life; I had absorbed massive amounts of negative energy from multiple sources and needed to metabolize it in solitude. I decided to paint myself out of the darkness using elements that some early surrealist painters used to illustrate light sources; design elements like directional rays, points, and areas of concentrated brush strokes.
