Opposites so often fit together. Seemingly the most obvious of opposites, light and dark create one another through their very essence. The impact of each, however, is often the same. What happens when there’s too much darkness? You can’t see. Yet, when you leave a matinee and enter the light of day, you squint in a struggle to block out the light and find vision. Light – or darkness, is never the only solution.

Into the Light is an exploration of light- the photons, the colour, the sun, the mood, the hope, but also the crushing intensity and terror that light can bring.

This is part one of a two-part art series put on by the Melbourne Rainbow Band. Keep the 11th of October saved in your calendar for Melbourne Rainbow Band: Into Darkness!
