The chief concern of the French Impressionists was the discovery of balance between light and dark.

The mandala describes balance. This is so whatever the pictorial form.

For the light to exist, there must be the dark. For the Force, there must be balance.

The English light is so very subtle, so very soft and misty, that the architecture responded with great delicacy of detail.

I don't personally see my work as being dark. What interests me is a balance between light and dark.

Feeling at peace, however fragilely, made it easy to slip into the visionary end of the dark-sight. The rose shadows said that they loved the sun, but that they also loved the dark, where their roots grew through the lightless mystery of the earth. The roses said: You do not have to choose.
