When Night Falls
I have drawings with the same title.
I wanted to make night, tangible. so I made it into curtains. sometimes, when I dont take notice.....it's already night time outside. I didnt even see the gradual change. it's like, someone putting a blanket over your head. so I decided to take a picture of the curtains over some plants. plants obviously referring to the landscape, or nature. and I took this picture during the day time. not only because I think that night time has holes in it where light shines through ( like stars......or lamps......or windows of houses at night...or the moon).....but it kind of switches off with the day light. the night takes a step forward, then the day takes a step in front of the night, etc...etc....
