Carriage Barn Chiaroscuro

Night. 
Light. 
Nightlight. 
Summer light.
Winter window. 
Carriage barn
              chiaroscuro.
Contextualized.
Fragments of a whole. 
Wholesome fragments… 

In abstract,
fragmented. 
Contextless
chiaroscuro.
Fenestration
defenestrated. 
Disembodied
nightlight
           beacon
                  phare 
illuminated but
decontextualized.
Dark of night.
Light of day.
Lightness
          of art
illuminating
lofty levity…
obscurity. 
Art
    of darkness.

Chiaroscuro: Clear & Obscure

These are images of the second story window in the west façade of the carriage barn behind our home. Perhaps they’re not *chiaroscuro* but crystal clear verses of a solitary song sung in the obscuring night, for the obscuring night. Perhaps they are *chiaroscuro* but only subtly so, muted meditations on a moment the light within eclipses the light without. Perhaps.
