Darkness and Light: Behind the Scenes at Art/Space 114

A glimpse behind the curtain of Darkness and Light, featuring four groundbreaking women artists: Susan Feldman, SC Mero, Laurie Lipton, and Lili Lakich.. I had the chance to assist Rick Mendoza during media day and documented opening night at Art/Space 114.

The work on view is bold, layered, and built from light, shadow, wit, and grit. I aimed to capture that same energy through my lens.

The official opening of Darkness and Light was something to witness. The gallery was packed, the energy high, and the artwork even more powerful in person. Tom, the gallery owner, welcomed everyone with kindness and gave a thoughtful introduction to the crowd waiting outside.

It was a good night to be in downtown Los Angeles. Here are some photos from the evening, with moments, faces, and scenes that caught my eye.

On view until June 5, 2025.
