Tawnie Howard’s project ‘They danced by the light of the moon’ explores the instinctive fears we have. The work specifically looks at our fear of the dark. The images made at night explore spaces that provide both comfort and a sense of unease dealing with the conflicted nature of our environment and perception. Allowing the light to ‘dance’ in her images, allows the viewers imaginations to flow and interpret the images how they want. Finding the light within the dark is a metaphor for self-discovery and acceptance, this is revealed by using a variety of light sources in these images and exploring outside in the fresh air while hanging on an edge of fear and connection.
