"Painting must express 'something more'. I feel compelled to explore light and dark

                             and the resonance that takes place between them. One cannot exist or 'breathe' without

                            the other, yet at every moment the two seem at odds. Light floods dark and dark fights

                            back. The point at which they are forced to unify is what consumes me. That place where

                            form becomes insignificant, the warring elements merge and light and dark seem almost

                            at peace".                                                                                 Danielle Hatherley
