'When I was very young, someone was there to tell us that we revolved around the Sun, and that its light is the light by which we live and see.

Glancing over our shoulders to squint painfully at this unseeable glittering monolith, I saw that this was true.' – Holly Anderson

Sunlight is inextricable from vision. It is the mould from which our eyes are cast, the point from which our world is drawn, or perhaps, painted.

Theories of light are often in essence theories of vision, or vice versa.

The way light can be seen emitted, reflected or scattered can be explained by a formation of waves that enter the eye to be read by two lenses at the back of the skull. But this explanation belongs to the anatomist. The way in which the mind interprets a sensation caused by light, and relates it to other visual and non-visual experiences of the world, falls within the domain of the artist.
