What interests me is the sense of the darkness that we carry within us, the darkness that's akin to one of the principal subjects of the sublime - terror.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Darkness might seem to obscure what's happening, but I find it's always pretty revelatory: it brings out the awe in us, the fear in us, the excitement of exploring the hidden or unknown. It seems to conceal, but it really shines a light on what we want, what we need, and what we'll do to get it. Especially when we think no one can see us.
From a good book, I want to be taken to the very edge. I want a glimpse into that outer darkness.
Since I was a kid, I've had this morbid fascination with dark and scary subject matter.
It's good to explore your darkness.
Every time that I'm in the dark, I imagine what might be lurking in the shadows. It's kind of like a drug in that way - darkness seems to change the way I think - making me way more prone to fear.
I like dark subject matter. I'm not sure what that means about me!
I've always been attracted to darkness.
The darkness is really out there. It's not something that's in my head, just. It's in my work because it's in the world.
Dramatically, I like darkness, I like conflict - but I don't see the world as defined by them.
I try to be a guide for people, to make their darkness bright and to make the pathway light, and never to condemn or control or criticize.
