“If these photographs stand as a kind of homage to light, it is because they also celebrate darkness- a darkness without which light could never be experienced. if they take light as their theme, it is because this theme is shown to be indissociable fro that of darkness. Or, to cast a more precise light on the matter, if the theme of these photographs is light, it is light as what withdraws from theme, as what cannot be thematized. This is why as soon as it takes place, the photograph, consenting to its own disappearance, vanishes- and, in vanishing, it tells us that it never appears without its shadows, without its hidden features, without the night to which it always returns. In each instance, then, the gathering of light is also a gathering of night.” - Eduardo Cadava

“By taking light itself as the subject of his new photographs, Ross addresses the central irony of photography: the fact that photography, which lives in and by light, can no more look directly at it than ancient believers could look upon the face of God. Pure light in any photograph is a white cipher, a smear or a splotch or bar of burned out nothingness. Pure light, like true love and good grammar, is one of those subjects that is only perceptible in its defect.” - David Hickey
