DARKNESS. LIGHT. SHADOWS.
EXHIBITION I
DAHLAN @ BARR SMITH SOUTH, UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE
“The outside belongs to the sun and on the inside people live and work. In order to avoid protection from the sun,” - Louis Khan
DAHLAN @ UNION HOUSE, UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE
"A plan of a building should be read like a harmony of spaces in light. Even a space intended to be dark should have just enough light from some mysterious opening to tell us how dark it really is. Each space must be defined by its structure and the character of its natural light." - Louis Khan
DAHLAN VISUAL NARRATIVE I
"Lacquerware decorated in gold is not something to be seen in a brilliant light, to be taken in at a single glance; it should be left in the dark, a part here and a part there picked up by a faint light." - Jun'ichiro Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows, page 14.
LIM @ MITCHAM, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
"Life is simple, but we insist on making it complicated." - Confucius
LIM @ HILL STREET, MITCHAM, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." - Abraham Lincoln
LIM VISUAL NARRATIVE I
"A degree of dimness, absolute cleanliness, and quiet so complete one can hear the hum of a mosquito. I love to listen from such a toilet to the sound of softly falling rain," - Jun'ichiro Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows, page 4.
KULKARNI @ TRANMERE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
"Nothing can dim the light that shines from within." - Maya Angelou

“Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.” - Samuel Smiles
HUMBLE VISUAL NARRATIVE I
“But in the still dimmer light of the candlestand, as I gazed at the trays and bowls standing in the shadows cast by the flickering point of flame, I discovered in the gloss of laquerware a depth and richness like that of a still, dark pond, a beauty I had not seen before.” - Jun’ichiro Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows, page 13.
JURY @ UNLEY, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
“Light: fading rays disperse.”
JURY @ UNLEY, SOUTH AUSTRALIA

LIGHT. SHADOWS. ART.

DAHLAN @ MEREDITH STREET, BROADVIEW, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.” - Charles Dickens
DAHLAN VISUAL NARRATIVE II
“That strange lump of stone with its faintly muddy light, like the crystallized air of the centuries, melting dimly, dully back, deeper and deeper — are not we Orientals the only ones who know its charms? We cannot say ourselves what it is that we find in this stone”. – Jun’ichiro Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows, page 5.
LIM 27 ANGAS STREET, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
"nyctophilia� (n.) love of darkness and night, finding relaxation or comfort in the darkness.
LIM SA WATER, VICTORIA SQUARE, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
"Each material has its own shadows. The shadow of stone is not the same as that of a brittle autumn leaf. The shadow penetrates the material and radiates its message." - Sverre Fehn
LIM VISUAL NARRATIVE II
"We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of the shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates." - Jun'ichiro Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows, page 30.
KULKARNI @ ART GALLERY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
"Sometimes, shadows shine brighter than light."
KULKARNI @ TRANMERE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA

KULKARNI VISUAL NARRATIVE II
"To me this is the very epitome of reality, for a woman of the past did indeed exist only from the collar up and the sleeves out; the rest of her remained hidden in darkness." - Jun’ichiro Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows, page 28.

HUMBLE @ ST GEORGES, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
