Notes
"Light is everything. Dappled, incandescent, it permeates the forest overstory. Particle and wave, light is life. It transmits its vital energy to every kindred organism in the ecosystem, every searching, symbiotic filament. For the painter too, light is all. The seen world made visible. In a trick of light, dimensional leaf shapes emit from the phantasmal darkness of the image plain. Still no vista."1
