Balthus bemused by colour
Photographs reflecting the enigmatic influence of the painter Balthus.
"It was always about approaching the mystery of childhood, its languid grace at ill-defined borders. I sought to paint the soul's secrets, the obscure and luminous tension of their partially blooming matrix. I might say it's about the crossing. The uncertain worrisome time when innocence is total and will soon give way to another age, more determinedly social."
The title refers to a piece of music by Harold Budd

Between Waking and Dreaming
Upon what principal do we distinguish waking and dreaming? As if through a glass, darkly, where the fancies seem, for once in a way, to be more illuminating than the facts.
