Artist Kim Johnson’s work may seem dark at times, but only because it is her way to face the mortality that binds us all.

“I’m really fascinated with the sort of idea of the abyss or the unknown. And approaching that cliff and looking over it,” Johnson said. “My work, it will feel ominous or dark, but really that’s just me facing the mystery of life.”
