"The fluorescent sticklight, a key material in West's new installations, is perhaps one of the most effective visual spatial devices. Aside from its obvious exuberant colours, its most striking feature is its stripped back materiality. West has modified each sticklight with a particular colour. This colour palette is reminiscent of the neon lights that were so prominent in the 1960s coinciding with the emergence of installation art. Through methodically mixing each tube in relationship to each other, West cultivates our perceptions, drawing on Albers practice based theory that colour can only be truly understood in relation to other colours and, crucially, our own knowledge of the colour spectrum. The raw exuberance of the sticklights becomes a catalyst to trigger a response: the viewer is needed to activate the work." - Jack Welsh, 2013

"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."
