This artist book explores carbon as a drawing material, a periodic element, a life-producing molecule, and the substance that is so central to climate change. Walking in the Dark references the literal practice of walking to collect carbon-based materials, the process of locating oneself in an atmosphere obscured by forest fire smoke, and the darkness of ecological breakdown. All drawings featured in this book were produced with carbon, in the form of charcoal, coal, graphite and ink. The limited-edition book contains contributions from artist Jim Holyoak and artist/geologist Carol Wallace and is available for purchase by contacting the artist, or available as a PDF here.
