While Darkness Sleeps is a series of images of underwater creatures seen through the process of microscopy. Employing a dissection microscope, the specimen is placed in a Petri dish on the stage of the microscope. A camera is attached to the microscope which records the image on an I-pad . Light, focus and magnification are manipulated. The images are then printed large-scale on matte archival paper. These tiny organisms pictured are found underneath piers, dock pilings and rocks. They live in communities attached to the substrates in gel-like blobs. As marine invertebrates they are termed colonial tunicates.
