Deconstructing Darkness
by Michael St.Germain

Here are a few photos of my portion of the Responding to Darkness installation after the gallery windows have been uncovered and the cardboard shingles removed from the house.

Interestingly, it was only in the process of taking the work apart that I first got to see the paper mache objects situated within the unclad skeleton of the house.

I have to (gulp) admit that I feel the work has a stronger visual and emotional presence in this state than it had when it was in the actual show...
