Come December by Sandra (S. E.) Penney

In this series of reduction linoleum prints titled Come December, Sandra Penney examines Southern California’s vibrant suburban mix of quiet solitude and communal activity during the year’s darkest month.
Inspired by Edvard Munch’s moonlit paintings, as well as by Peter Straub’s poetic line, “the world is half night,” this series celebrates how the familiar becomes both new and strange when glimpsed from a darkened street.
