This part of the work is to convey the idea of duration and accumulation, which means the idea of time, which is also the idea of transparency — looking through time — that Becoming Dark is a slow movement of addition to memory and knowledge. It is the addition of layer upon layer of clear transparency that in time evolves through amassing into blackness, so that the conversion is also a process of knowledge, of knowing and becoming. It is the movement through steady accumulation in perception. Perception of the heart and perception of the eyes so that when one confronts a work of Art, the experience predominately felt is a slow absorption through duration. And in time, it becomes an accumulated opinion or felt emotion coupled by reason and intelligence to give nature, or to give name, or to give sight to the presence. This presence observed also conveys memory. The dark transparency of memory, so that every moment of viewing is a moment held in becoming dark. In one form, going dark is becoming night — time of growth and transformation.
