Field notes
Cassar’s preface moves from childhood visits to Valletta into art studies, conversations with Victor Pasmore and friendships with Maltese artists including Gabriel Caruana and George Fenech. He describes light not only as a way to show form, but as an expressive presence that shapes movement, tension and colour. The page also links to other works and an exhibition preview.
