Before Dark represents a time of transition, a time of twilight when the light fades and shadows grow across the landscape. It is a time of diaphanous, fleeting images that might be half-imagined or half-seen in a vagary. Twilight is a time of involution, when our thoughts are drawn inward where real and not real become intertwined. The images connect our subconscious to a world of the gloaming, when mysteries form as darkness falls across the landscape.

The images represent a trip, a journey from the light into the approaching darkness, when the light is imperfect. It is a journey into a time when the hard edges of day fade, and the light becomes soft, diffuse. As the light is filtered through shadows, it is a journey into a place where the land becomes more friendly and less friendly all at the same time. Before Dark is a place where the light slowly swirls, inexorably downward, into darkness.
