Colour can be experienced as a fixed
attribute of mass or surface — innate
within a block of stone or a painted canvas.
Subject to fluctuations according to its
interactions with light, colour in this form
nonetheless seems to possess an aspect
of permanence. In these photographs,
by contrast, dramatic and entirely transitory
effects of colour are experienced as a
manifestation of light — of the rising and
the setting sun and of electric light playing
across water on a pavement.
