Beautiful Dark began in the spirit of Andre Breton's cadavre exquis or exquisite corpse,  It is a conversation between artists, between media, between the corporeal and non-corporeal, the lit and the umbral.  Image informed text, text informed image through pattern, texture, sound, and poetic associations.  As we worked, subject matter revealed itself - ghostings of voices, silhouettes, landscapes, crepuscular creatures.  The accumulation of these here is intended as a kind of architecture, one  of murmuration and noir, one where a body wishes to to be held.
