“I was reminded of a remark of Willa Cather’s, that you can’t paint sunlight, you can only paint what is does with shadows on a wall. If you examine a life, as Socrates has been so tediously advising us to do for so many centuries, do you really examine a life, or do you examine the shadows it casts on other lives? Entity or relationships? Objective reality or the vanishing point of a multiple perspective exercise? Prism or the rainbows it refracts? And what if you’re the wall? What if you never cast a shadow or rainbow of your own, but have only caught those cast by others?” - Wallace Stegner
In Shadowlands, eight Central West artists explore the qualities of light and shadow through painting, paper, photography and textile installation. As shadows fall across landscape, interiors and figures, these small absences of light reveal the larger patterns of form, place and time.
