This series marked the beginning of a lifelong investigation into the nature of existence through the exploration of what I call the ‘dark source.’ There is a difference between blackness and darkness. A dark place invites one to investigate, to dig in, to know more as it is difficult to see in the dark, both literally and metaphorically. It is a way of going deeper and deeper into dark places as a source of wisdom and knowledge, which is well known in mythology. While working on this series of paintings, I received in the mail from a friend a book entitled The Dark is Light Enough, by Christopher Fry. I was struck by the title and -- realizing that it perfectly embodied the meaning of my new paintings-- decided that that should be their title. Being in Argentina where the language is Spanish, I wanted to find a poetic translation for it, but I couldn’t find it on my own.  I went then to the Biblioteca Nacional in Buenos Aires where the director at the time was Jorge Luis Borges. I asked him whether he would translate it for me. He did; his translation was exquisitely poetic: “La oscuridad tiene su luz.”.
