"The simplicity of my work suggests stillness and silence, a meditation on the way light shapes our environment. The changes that occur within the landscape with the fading light have inspired me: the quiet shadows that appear with the last light of day; and the shimmer of fading light across a body of water. I find beauty and poetry in the ordinary things that represent and allude to changes in terrain, and the effect that time and light has upon them."- Mel Douglas
