The Darkness Cometh vessel appears to be being taken over by the blackness. Graphite pigment paint fully covers the interior of the vessel and spreads onto the outer surface. The work is constructed with a random weave skeleton-a paper skin is applied to the woven skeleton. Many of the flat reed weavers used in the skeleton have common words written on them, such as women, equality and diversity. While the words may not be fully readable, they are imbedded into the work. The words come from a list of words that have disappeared from the government’s website since the beginning of the new administration. According to the New York Times these words and others were removed to purge the federal government of “woke” ideology.

The paper skin applied to the vessel both conceals and protects the hidden words, symbolizing how fragile protections can be easily pierced or eroded.
