I know Daniël. I know the light he creates and the world he lays bare before my eyes. Millions of tiny glowing lines. Before there is light, however... there must be darkness. You see, this particular light shines upon a world that has never before been seen in this, your world. If you have been lucky enough to lay your eyes on Daniël’s illuminated engravings, you will understand what I mean. It takes one slice of light at a time. I know his world. I live there. This little book contains a selection of sketches and drawings that were the basis of some of Daniël’s finest engravings. Lose yourself in them as I have. Then, look again at the light pieces he creates and lose yourself once more.... Enjoy dark_nes. Get lost and find the light. Victoria Woolstool
