The vigil is a universal phenomenon: in times of uncertainty, people gather together to keep watch, to pray, to bear witness. To hold up a light in defiance of the darkness. Charcoal is a challenging medium: simple and stark, yet capable of great expressive depths. Prehistoric, accessible, sustainable. Perfect for large-scale work, and for exploring themes of light and dark.
