'I find my subjects by observing the effect of daylight on buildings, roads, walls, fences and roofs. All forms and structures are revealed by light. I respond to certain arrangements or conjunctions of shapes created by the fall of light, as well as contrasts between sunlight and shadow. Daylight, the light of morning or evening, in summer or winter is ever enticing. Certain places are significant for me - especially where I was born and where I have lived. Walking in and around Sydney's suburbs over the last 35 years it is the chaotic variety of streets and rooftops that most attracts me; old and new, abandoned buildings or those being constructed, and the bustling city centre with its densely packed high-rises. And I particularly enjoy finding new and interesting chimneys and air-conditioning ducts which suggest human personalities, bodily parts or character traits. Their variety is seemingly endless.'

- Hendrik Kolenberg
