'The world is a place full of dark and light as is that of Sandy Jeffs. She explores this tension with a clarity that is troubled by shadows. Humour and sadness intermingle in a show that must go on. Popular culture and parodies of classic poems are used to illuminate the world for what it is.' (Publication summary)
Epigraph:
If there be light, then there should be darkness; if cold, heat; if
height, depth; if solid, fluid; if hard, soft; if rough, smooth;
if calm, tempest; if prosperity, adversity; if life, death. – Pythagoras
The exceeding brightness of this early sun
Makes me conceive how dark I have become. –Wallace Stevens.
