‘To contemplate is to look at shadows’      – Victor Hugo

Shadow – a dark figure or image cast on the ground or surface by a body intercepting light

Shadows – shapes

Shadows –  excitement, moving and playing with light

Shadows  – gloom, drama, mood – dark and deep

‘The soft look your eyes had once  –  and of their shadows deep’  –  W.B Yeats

Shadows are anywhere, everywhere and nowhere – above and below us, about us, a mirror within us –  reflective, light and dark.

They are our hopes, dreams, fears, fantasies, memories, lost loves, friendships.

‘If you don’t have any shadows, you’re not in the light’ – Lady Gaga

What are your shadows ?

Do they shape your life?

‘It’s all about shadow ………’

‘The beginnings and ends of shadow lie between the light and darkness and may be infinitely diminished and infinitely increased. Shadow is the means by which bodies display their form. The forms of bodies could not be understood in detail but for shadow.’      –   Leonardo Da Vinci
