Dark Study, focuses on light as a mechanism for surveillance. Built for a site in Dallas TX, the constructed tower takes the form of a historic light tower native to the region. Triggered by a sound sensor, the sculpture's light flips to complete darkness each time a train passes. As the earth shakes with the sound of the train, the viewer’s focus shifts from sight to sound. They are asked to consider the fallacy of light as safety, contemplating instead what can be found in the darkness.
