"i make spaces that apprehend light for our perception, and in some ways gather it, or seem to hold it... my work is more about your seeing than it is about my seeing, although it is a product of my seeing." - james turrel
james turrel has worked directly with light and space to create artworks that engage the viewers with the limits and wonder of human perception. Turrel, considers the sky as his studio, material and canvas. New Yorker critic Calvin Tompkins writes, "his work was not about light, or a record of light; it is light - the physical presence of light made manifest in sensory form."
